I worked for a surface m8ning operation in New Mexico. We dug up a rare type of sand used for fracking in the gas and oil industry. I was an operator of the dry plant where we utilized a screening system to make various sieve sizes of product. What you are using currently appears to be much more labor intensive and slow, however if it works for your current needs then by all means continue. The sieve screening we used would fill silos every day. It is made by a company named Rotex. You may already know of them, this could really boost production for you. You are doing great things, thank-you.

"if it's easy, everyone would do it" I need to remember that. My favourite is the brickettes made from coconut waste.

i love that even though they're making change, but they aren't forgetting their restrictions. these small solutions won't change the world at large, but they're at least trying and they are changing their local community. these solutions aren't enough to completely destroy the problem, but they're helping to give more time to think of better ways. even if what any of them do won't end up being used in the future, this will at least show that they definitely changed their community and that there will ALWAYS be people trying to help the world. these people have existed throughout all of history and they are very much still here.

Building out of pure plastic is a bad because of thermal changes warping the plastic, making the building collapse. It seems like they just make it mostly out of a stable material with some plastic.

This is so uplifting- entrepreneurs who are driven by solving a world wide problem like waste and pollution as well as makining a profit whilst employing people and inovating new solutions.

I love this woman's vision ❤️ more people need see what this woman is doing as well as the innovative young entrepreneurs who have the vision to recycle products that corporate entities can't be bothered doing

Much praise for these young people doing something for the planet.

Thank you to all of them!!

So amazing! I WISH these kinds of stories could be shown on the news more to give people hope, ideas and inspiration to create good out of anything or gold out of straw just like Rumplestiltskin!! I wish we brought awareness to these types of creative individuals instead of only on humans who are doing the worst possible things to humanity!! Will post to facebook!!

Thank you folks for helping our environment. ❤

This is actually a great video that looks at these great people doing great work but don't just spend the whole time blowing smoke up their ass and actually talk about the limitations of their work and how much of an impact they are realistically making

Yep. The companies that make billions in profit producing the garbage need to be ordered to pay to clean it up.

its so amazing, to know how much effort they put in to improve their waste management

FINALLY Ive been waiting for people to start grinding down that "waste" that isnt really waste but valuable resource. The technology has been around for decades but for some reason it wasnt talked about. We could satisfy ALL our energy needs just by RECYCLING waste.

Every one of those stories was beautiful and gives an old man hope about this generation.

Each one of these projects are impressive on their own level can't wait to see more if the future.

I am so proud of millennials around the world making the planet better by using recycled materials. 👀♥️💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

as an environment student who also landscapes for a living i am obsessed with the plastic bricks i need to get my hands on those. they are perfect for hardscaping they would add such a unique aspect to peoples gardens.

That glass recycling operation scares me. Very necessary endeavour, but Im scared of that place. Imagine fine glass dust slowly accumulating in your lungs over 20 years or so, then you retire and only then realize you landed yourself in some major complications etc. And not to mention your clothes would probably get worn out very quickly in that abrasive environment. I wonder if a simple water spray, a vat in the ground, and some augers can transfer the material with very little human intervention or open air exposure. I bet these people may once a while have a simple snack and notice some extra crunchy stuff while chewing

Fantastic site- I am so happy to have found your site! You give me hope as an elder who believed in this type of thing back in the 1970’s…. I am sharing your site with others, please keep finding these creative productive adventurous young people who are making a difference in our society! Bless you all! And I wish for their continued success!

all of these businesses are so inspiring, i'm really in awe from watching this video

Id like to see more about crochet as an art form and how acrylic yarn affects the environment. I'd also like you to show how yarn can be made of different stuff and how to better utilize the craft. Thank you!

I don't use acrylic yarn to crochet. If I don't have the money to buy natural fibers, I buy less of them, that's all.

Not all plastic is the same. Some handle exposure to the elements differently over time. Some are broken down by UV exposure so that they can cause the solid they're an ingredient of to become unstable and no longer able to take a large weight. They'll just crumble. Then the small bits of plastic become microplastics and enter the food chain. The long term stability of combining plastics and what they're used for need to be understood.

Very great development that trash is recycled and used as raw material for new products! Producing the same or more with less new resources is one of the key elements of a sustainable future! 🌍💪🏽

They were all quite inspiring but I also can't help think about how much energy they all use and where it comes from.

I do love the boss she even knows it's not the solution but we do need to do more has a great personality and is so kind most of people are a lot nicer then where

She could turn those bricks into park benches as a 2x4 or a 2x6 to look like a board and make anything that you would normally use wood for. Picnic tables, park benches,

Love your video thank you for showing an old lady these amazing young people trying to solve terrible problems in our world.

I hope people donate to these young people, especially young lady making plastic bricks to ensure safety and automation.

Just brilliant. Kudos to all of these entrepreneurs.

I swear the educational part of KZread is the best. This is good stuff. All you need is some Internet connection and you could learn a ton of random subjects. PEACE TO ALL.

knowing this made my week so much better. Edit: commented without seeing it all.

Kudos to those young founders, I am proud about them

Much love, no hate!

sad to see the major issue is cost when trying to upscale, the pvc weavers need an elctric heate rand a dust collection system or an indoor place to catch the pvc dust
