In an effort to become the first \u201ca future island\u201d, Antigua and Barbuda will have a plastics recycling plant.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

All the plastic wastes will be collected and turned into other products that will keep plastics out of the landfill and the surrounding seas.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of the Environment is about to sign an MOU with the firm involved, and the cost of the operation will be absorbed by the firm.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>

Prime Minister Gaston Browne made mention to this initiative on September 28, 2019 at the Global Citizen Festival where he said his country will become the first \u201cFuture Island Nation\u201d in the Caribbean.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Addressing over 60,000 attendees at the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park Saturday night, Browne said, that through a new partnership with Parley for Oceans, Antigua and Barbuda will be adopting the Parley Air Strategy.<\/p>\n

Parley Air is the strategy to end the fast-growing threat of marine plastic pollution.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cAntigua and Barbuda is committing to building a Parley Air Base \u2013 a recycling station that actually works \u2013 which will intercept approximately 27, 000 tons of plastic on the beaches and from polluting the environment by 2030, thereby helping eliminate plastic pollutants from our shores,\u201d Browne told the festival.<\/p>\n
