An eco friendly waste management company called Cedar Environmental headed by CEO Ziad Abi Chaker has shared a new and innovative method to replace the stolen metal sewage covers by creating covers made out of recycled single use plastic. <br \/>  <br \/>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fziad.abichaker.7%2Fposts%2F2775679499351839&#038;width=500&#038;show_text=true&#038;height=541&#038;appId\" width=\"500\" height=\"541\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>  <br \/>  <br \/>  This incredible initiative can majorly help with the road safety hazards resulting from the metal theft crisis, in addition to aid in the manufacturing of cleaner and cheaper alternatives.
