Tengbeh Town Red Pump River Cleanup Activity

On October 26, 2024, Operation232 collaborated with the HYBRID Organization to implement the Tengbeh Town Red Pump River project. The aim of this project was to contribute to reducing plastic pollution and promote community environmental awareness. The activity involved over 20 community volunteers, where Operation232 provided over 10 of these volunteers, working together to remove waste and restore the river’s ecosystem, in line with our goal of achieving Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action).

Education & Skill Training

We organize practical workshops, under-an-hour presentations, and local leaders skill training for scheduled community cleanups. In an effort to remove and sort years-old waste in the community, while building better habits.

Resource Provision & Logistics

For Operations 232 to solve one of the major reasons for pollution, we will supply safety equipment (mask, boots, vest) and working tools per each central location. Available resources  is a primary motivation for more work.

International 2G-Plastic Supply

Women and youth in plastic-collection will receive daily wages per each kg of plastics supplied to our processing warehouse. These processed 2nd Generation plastics will be sold in 100kg bundles to international markets (partnered buyers).

Local Plastic Recycling

Despite our international market, it is important to be a beacon of motivation for other youth to engage in plastic recycling locally. An extension of Operations 232 is the production of plastic recycled items (shopping bags, sandals. storage bags, tanks, etc.).
