I suggest starting at the bottom of the list of of the most environmentally friendly countries, and then working your way up...but first choose the environmentally unfriendly countries that release trash into rivers and other waters. I don't mean to judge, but getting them to stop would help all countries have cleaner water. The first project might be to repurpose large plastic bins and containers to become recycling bins just for the Precious Plastics community. Placing 1 complete set machinery in each country would plant the seeds in their imagination.

Found out my local land fil doesn't separate the trash from recycling when I went there with a car full of cardboard. They charge me extra to have me separate it but they dump it all in the same place.

As a person from NOLA in the US (one of the worst corrupt and worst infrastructure large cities in the US) it's been the same here since hurricane Katrina.... I feel for you, now we've had 15+ years on to build up private response to this. Look and see if someone around you is recycling cardboard privately- thats how we've been going about it here, small businesses that do specific cardboard+gas+chems have popped up in response to the fact that everyone here knows that our local dump is broken. Second to that, if its not horribly filthy/stanky, I give clean cardboard to the mechanics shop im near bc they use it to pad the shop's floor(helps their back, help reduce heat in the shop), it'll get tossed, but at least it will get used to death b4 that- Good luck! Sorry its being like that.

so that's why those benches in school had a weird texture. they were made of extruded recycled plastic lol.

Precious Plastic is the perfect name for this. It's so embarrassing that humanity can come up with a class of material as amazing as Plastics, and then we turn around and mostly make garbage out of it. Good for them, here's hoping more people follow suit.

I absolutely agree with you, @jono3952. There is no reason that large companies cannot buy back or simply participate in the rebate programs, to collect their own plastics to reuse. Or for 3rd party companies to get their materials for free from items households can easily separate. I love the vending & return machines in Japan that accept empty bottles for filled bottles of their products or even transportation fare. There are always solutions. Someone just needs to think of them!

Thanks so much for telling this story! I have been watching Project Kamp (Dave from Precious Plastic) since they started their project and loved hearing about Precious Plastic. It’s so good to know that it’s making a difference all around the world! I love what you guys are doing and am looking forward to seeing more from you.

Here in Italy, where I live, we recycle mostly everything from plastic, paper, glass, electronical devices, and metal. I personally take a trip to the dump ince a month to bring my recycling things. Thanks for showing us what you have helped do. Ps also our wet waist like food and garden stuff.

All that plastic.. I see diesel ⛽️ and gas and even building material.. ecollabo8 makes building material and outside furniture.. their andirondack furniture are lovely.. but the turning plastic into fuel and even a propane gas is what I like because you can use it for your vehicles and all generators and even cook with it on gas stoves and heating for furnaces.. and the burning process is clean.. not pollution.. many ppl living on isolated island are doing this. To operate their generators for AC and electric and also all this gas fueled landscaping equipment..

Hi BrothersMake thank you this project

companies making the plastic should be responsible for their cheap disposable environmentally disastrous products. making these poor people falsely responsible for it is a scam that lets the companies keep increasing production of their polluting products.

Future archeologists will always call this the plastic age, based on the rock layers a million years from now. If there are any archeologists

Rory, team, and others, thank you for your work!

When you say bricks, do you mean bricks to make a house? Because if you can build housses with your bricks, it could have a very big impact.

I DO think this is a very inspirational video. I also thought to myself, how soon those machines were going to break, or get messed up by improper handling. And if you need a whole afternoon of safety teaching? Well, I'm not sure that those guidelines are going to be adhered to very well. The other thing I thought was, do they really need plastic beads? What I'm thinking is... they need more plastic chairs for people to sit on, because obviously every household there has plastic chairs. So why not have a injection mold that makes plastic chairs. And use plastic that is more abundant than bottle tops, say the plastic bottles themselves. I like the idea of making PVC piping or some type of piping that is durable. I know it's not as fun, or exciting, but I'm really a practical person. Or say windmill blades to use with water pumps, so other parts of the country, away from the river, or other countries abutting Gambia, so perhaps they can irrigate, & grow fruit and vegetables. Or what about wash basins? Every household needs to wash their clothes right? Or bathtubs? There's a lot more things you could make than beads. Or you could remake the fishing line they make the fishing nets out of? I know you were starting with a small scale, but the problem is so huge that a practical application seem to me to be of paramount importance. What did somebody say in the comments they need more porta potties? Well they do! I think they're injected molded... Of course then you need the trucks to drain the waist out of those, and take the feces someplace to be sterilized and put on crops... So it's just not the porta potties. There's a whole bunch of other stuff around the porta potties that has to happen. Sanitation is a really good thought.

Anyone else catch the older lady from the area with a Michael Kors gold watch?

I always love the sales you never know what your gonna find.

PVC is a different type of plastic, not common in waste streams and not safe to recycle, it’s the most dangerous kind to melt

I think maybe if they had some kind of sanitary facilities there would be less trash in the rivers, which empty into the oceans.
