One of the milestones achieved through Project CAP is the inauguration of the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Kapan. This facility is designed to bale 60 MT of scrap PET bottles collected from informal waste workers, which will then be recycled at the PET Recycling Facility in Bharatpur, Chitwan, under Project CAP. This is not just an opening—it marks the beginning of closing the loop in sustainable plastic waste management.

Project CAP is funded by PLEASE (Plastic Free Rivers and Seas for South Asia), implemented by South Asia Co-operative Environment Programme, supported by the World Bank, and with implementing support from UNOPS.
