Environment, Recycling & Waste Disposal

Environmental issues are rapidly becoming key factors impacting upon the economic and social makeup of the world, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. A combination of the world's largest population, land mass and water resources has meant that the impact of man, industry and social habits have had a dramatic impact upon the region. Whilst no one can turn back the clock on such developments, there is a duty of care and responsibsility to ensure the minimisation of disruption to existing scarce resources as well as preserve the same for future generations.


SIRA works with Asia-Pacific industry, government and other organisations in collecting data, undertaking first stage analysis and providing advice in realistic solution options. In most instances there is no data available to determine the real status of the situation. SIRA is at the forefront of regional data surveys and compilation. Often we are the sole provider to governments and industry of such hard to get information.


Examples of SIRA's work in the Asia-Pacific region include:


• Annual plastics waste recycling survey in Australia extensively used by industry associations and government
  
• Survey of plastics waste disposal in Hong Kong published tri-annually
  
• Innaugural survey and analysis of Indonesian industrial waste
  
• Provision of low-cost technology options for reducing emissions and industrial waste at factory source, including industrial waste audit
  
• World survey of polyurethane foam waste trends and trade flows
  
• Evaluation of regional government marine craft coating emission regulations
  
• Surveys of PET bottle waste collection, reprocessing and pricing
  
• Evaluation and strategic advice on isocyanate and other hazardous chemicals handling, storage and transportation across Asia
  
• Financial viability studies and business plans on biodegradable lubricants and recycling initiatives
  
• Environmental impact studies in for new factories in China, Vietnam, Australia and Malaysia
  
• Regional environment and recycling policy comparisions
  
• ASEAN plastics recycling system comparative analysis
