Soluciones Biotecnologicas Tropicales presents at the Smithsonian Environmental Fair
SBT was invited to present at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute's Environmental Fair again this year on June 13th and 14th. We were excited to have some amazing news to share at this fair, in which recycling was the main topic. We spoke with Dr. Michael Willinsky over a year ago about our need for a solution to the plastic trash problems in Bocas and all of Panama. He has been working on a process to use all plastics in a recycling process he has patented. He called right before the fair to inform me he has a working plant in operation in Quebec. The amazing part is that the plant can utilize all plastics (not just selected plastics like all other processes). These recycled plastics require only 1/5 the energy cost of creating new plastics, saves on land filling plastics, can be utilized to mold any new plastic product, absorbs and traps greenhouse gases like carbon, makes money, and is environmentally friendly. Unbelievable! This news was very well received at the fair and I hope to have Dr. Willinsky provide a prospectus for me to present to the Mayor of Panama for consideration.
