BUKIT MERTAJAM: While authorities believe that there are about 400 plastic recycling factories in Seberang Prai alone, the number of illegal operators may easily outnumber the legal ones.
Penang Welfare, Caring Society and Environment Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh said most of the illegal operators were mainly in Bukit Tengah.
Phee said besides freezing the approved permits of unlicensed operators to import plastic waste, Penang should also have legal provisions to ensure that Tenaga Nasional and the Penang Water Supply Corporation cut their supplies to these illegal factories. Earlier, Seberang Prai Municipal Council president Datuk Rozali Mohamud said it was in the process of charging 14 illegal plastic recycling factories in Seberang Prai.
