Waste Management in Kosrae, Micronesia

The goal is to reduce the quantity of waste material in the landfill and the dredging of beaches by using crushed glass, instead of sand, as aggregate in concrete. This project contributes strongly to the sustainable development of the island with its positive economic, sociological, and ecological effects. Money paid to the families for the recovered materials creates a small sub economy; a cleaner island improves the quality of Kosrae life; our ocean, mangroves, and land are saved from thousands of cubic meters of trash; and the dredging activity of sand is drastically reduced if we start use the crushed glass instead of sand.
