The Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia (GMAC) and partners plan to soon launch the green-tech clean-energy Switch Garment project.
The project aims to increase competitiveness and employ sustainable energy practices to curb the industry’s environmental impact, GMAC general manager Ly Tek Heng told The Post on Tuesday.
Tek Heng, who heads the project, said GMAC will implement it in collaboration with the Seoul-headquartered treaty-based international organization Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) and French NGO Geres-Cambodia.
He said the EU-funded SWITCH-Asia program has prepared a €2,995,748 budget for the project, which will run from 2020-2024.
In particular, the project aims to increase investment in sustainable energy practices, such as technological efficiency, transition to renewable energy and sound operational management in the Kingdom’s factories.
