On the morning of December 24, Sihanoukville Deputy Governor Long Dimanche led relevant technical officials to inspect a site proposed for registration of an investment project by CAMBODIAN KECHUANG MATERIAL CO., LTD. The proposed plastic-pellet and packaging-material factory would be in Andoung Thma commune, Prey Nob district, Sihanoukville province.
YU WEN, the company’s Chinese national head, said the company planned to invest approximately US$524,000 on a total land area of 1,200 square metres. It aimed to make plastic pellets, plastic products, packaging and other ancillary materials for domestic supply and export.
Long Dimanche advised the company to install wastewater drainage and manage solid and liquid waste in line with technical standards when production began, to avoid harm to the environment and local residents. He also called for well-ventilated buildings, safe access routes and sufficient fire-prevention equipment.
The deputy governor also asked the company to clearly identify the sources of the waste plastic it intended to process, to facilitate official oversight.
