Mattakkuliya Canal 02 (Bridge)
Apparel brand AdoreMe Inc. sponsored the installation of two Ocean Strainers at the Mattakkuliya Canal, Mattakkuliya, in August 2022. A local entrepreneur collects the PET waste and resells it to a private sector plastic recycler. The rest of the waste is cleared by the Sri Lanka Land Development Corporation, which sends most of it to a waste-to-energy generation facility. As of October 2022, the smaller Strainer at the Mattakkuliya will divert an estimated 20,800 kilograms of waste from the ocean each year.
