😎♻A BiG Hallo here from South Africa! I lost most everything about 7 months ago....This made me slow down, appreciate life and nature more! I remembered only a few weeks ago, that I had a fire inside me in lockdown when I saw One Army & Precious Plastics for the first time. That fire is re-ignited! I have been selling whatever I can to get tools to recycle and learning every day about recycling as Precious Plastics show us. I have also watched every video of Brothers make. I have my sister and her household helping me collect, I collect on the beach and wherever I walk around here, also getting the community involved to give me their plastic. Next week I am registering my business. Tomorrow I am starting with a sandwich press t melt and build from there! No turning back now!

Hello
What an amazing idea to give plastic new life!
This is great! A perfect business plan with high social and environmental impact! I Hope for Saju to have a lot of sucess and that they continue with this high energy and purpose! Congrats
That boy looks very exited going through the experience 😎♻️
Love everything about this! The music when getting the glasses 👌 and the smiles of the guys :) Thank you for sharing your story and energy Juan&Juan :)
Brilliant story Do mot be affraid to open the padora box which can lead to special outcome. From small idea , they have developed fantastic business. Again brilliant
Been following Precious Plastics since around 2015 and the amount of innovations along with expanding projects in various fields is absolutely astonishing and exciting. I’ve sensed the incredible energy from Saju and great job on being so resourceful in the community. Collaboration is beautiful! An inspiring share indeed! 💛
Great video! So proud of designing and making the machines for this great company 🔥♻️. Based on the Precious Plastic platform, this is a great way to make valuable things with recycled plastic 💪🏼🕶️
Me encanta la idea, pero Bogotá me queda un poco lejos, así que por qué no se portan bien y me hacen un regalito?😜 Fantástica iniciativa y fantástica realización de un sueño. Enhorabuena!!🎊🍾
I have learned how hard it is to get through the process of refining every little detail of a production, as soon as the material-soure changes and am therefore absolutely blown away by what the guys have achieved! Sending lots of love and admiration!

Another amazing example of how people can take a concept and with some effort and challenges produce something people can engage with using recycled plastics. I love their energy and the glasses look great. This series continues to show what's possible and I hope inspires others as it does with us to try and make a difference with used plastics ❤

Continuously inspiring people with those videos to get the precious plastic movement going in Ethiopia. Love your work! Here we use especially sandwich makers, works perfectly fine.
I’m in love with the brand. The experience that they created in their stores, the concept and the product. Honesyly, they could create different business models to expand their brand into different countries where people is a lot more conscious about recycling than Colombia. If they do, I’ll love to chat with them. Best of lucks!
I come from Indonesia, I follow precious plastics since 2017 until now, through someone named Dave Hakken, he is a person who really inspires me, a positive spirit who should be an example for my country, let's love this earth by taking care of it through recycling plastic..

Amazing! 🤩
I like the concept of people coming to you and making their very own individual pair of glasses. I personally would not be able to receive your full experience as I have a seeing problem since I have been three years old and picking lenses isn’t that easy for me, sadly. 😊 Best success to you, guys, you already show an amazing way to reduce, reuse, recycle and making waste to precious Objects. 👏

@@Precious_Plastic that’s very nice from you but I don’t need a giveaway, as replacing one item I already own with another one creates even more pollution. 😅🧡 And if mine breaks someday I am looking forward to ordering a frame so that I can still get the right optical lenses for me. 🥰
Your concept is huge guys, keep the hard work! Also have a precious plastic workshop in Cambodia, where we love to experiment and play with the different colors I want my pair of your sunglasses!! (:

Estamos en proceso de impulsar la transformación de estos materiales-contaminantes a productos para las comunidades y personas que lo necesiten. Pero debe ir de la mano de una concientización en el uso de plásticos e impulsar el reciclaje. Me interesa mucho este tema y estamos conectando con grupos del Caribe mexicano que ya están haciendo esto.
Amazing!!

Did you guys start at home? Or had a workshop?
Thanks for the amazing video, I'm blown away by the product quality and these cool guys managed to get it there in a short amount of time, fabulous work. I'm in my research phase now to start a similar project with different tweaks for the people in the European market, is there a way that SAJO can help me with guidance or advice? I would to have a visit to their workshop to learn from their experience and way of working if they agree. I hope I can get your assistance to start the first precious plastic project in Luxembourg.
Such a great concept. When making sunglasses, is there a certain kind of plastic that is best any why? Any that you don't use and why?
I want the fog in my giveaway packet too :D
