RECYCLING IN HONG KONG
In Hong Kong, China, the rubbish dumps were all full. They could not continue making rubbish, because they were living under it.
An organitation is trying to finish with this problem, it´s name is ECOTEC, and it has made a prototype that transform three tons of plastic rubbish in about one thousend litres of fuel. in one day.
All the plastic that cannot pass this process is transformed into gas, and then they transform it into liquid, where they suppurate more fuel.
This fuel can´t be used in transports, because it has a lot of sulfur, only can be used in big boats.
Hong Kong has a very important port, and the boats are who makes the biggest part of Hong Kong´s pollution, so thanks to this project, the air is getting better.
