Geography Field Trip to Kaduwela

For Geography The class teamed up with the young reporters service group and we visited a Plastic recycling center and waste management plant which both aim to reduce our waste in Sri Lanka. The Plastic Recycling center separated plastics mostly bottles by color then the removed the labels and shredded them into small pellets afterwards they bagged them so that they could be used else where. The Waste management plant ran off of power created by its own biogas plant which was a bi product of the fertilizer that they were creating from wet biotic waste such as food and coconuts in a machine that they called the “Digester”. They were also drying and compacting cardboard and paper and were sending any glass and plastic  they received to a glass recycling plant.
