Her name is Nzambi Matee. She is a 29-year-old trained engineer and schooled in biochemistry, founded the new ways of converting waste into sustainable materials. With her initiative, Matee has recently been named a Young Champion of the Earth 2020 Africa winner at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
Good to know ❤️
That's awesome.
Hello
@Corunna Stevens Goris 💯🌈
You would think they would have the decency to add her name.
The Kenyan Academy of Science is well known for its achievements and contributions to science and industry.
❤️
stop your sarcastic BS,, the westerners love negative stories about africa because it makes them feel good about themselves. if not for plastic story, these woman wont be there probably reporting on this
@@redhillhero1975 negative stories this story isnt negative just stop
@@redhillhero1975 you're right, they might be finding cures for illnesses if they weren't preoccupied with trash
@@redhillhero1975 I don't think it's sarcasm.
She's a blessing for her nation. We need more revolutionarys in the world
black ones everywhere before your idea is stolen
It would be way more efficient to stop sending our poise nous garbage over there.
And the plastic paving bricks leak into the soil, polluting the food we eat and the water we drink. The only solution is to stop using plastic.
@@markusschellenberg4684 I agree with you. Stay safe, healty, strong, happy and be blessed ☺️✌️🍀❣️
@@semperfi-guy
Multinationals will patent it and shut down the operation.
I hope she has powerful friends.
Thats amazing. She deserves an award. The whole world needs to learn this technique!
💖👏💖👏💖👏💖👏💖👏🖤😎
I hope this woman achieves everything she sets out to do! Such an innovative, smart, caring and kind person. People like this should be celebrated!
EXACTLY!!!
Unfortunately african history of the last centuries teaches us that these are not the people that will get any celebration. Celebrations are only for corrupt politicians draining natural resources from the continent and trading with western colonial powers for their own advantage
@@johnregis5320 You are very right John.
Let's hope the Americans dont send some of their "peace & freedom" over there
Were not.
The young Kenyan scientist is simply showing us how to take lemons and make lemonade.
except the lemons are garbage and the lemonade is garbage bricks
@@bogotbored And what exactly is wrong with garbage bricks?
You think it’s simple, I doubt if you could’ve or would’ve been able to do it!
@@sumayyahadetunmbi4347 tried to sound smart but probably wanted to say - the bricks made of garbaged plastic
yh, basically like she said "if you know how to bake cookies"
This lady could take this to a whole mother level, decking materials,roofing materials, car bumpers, exercise equipment, chairs tables the list goes on and on.
Great ideas, but keep in mind that mixing different plastics and then heating them will lead to quite some toxic stuff no-one would like to have close to his house or his children.
Yes she so good and perfect too
@@markusschellenberg4684 and company not liking to spend money on their products
Good idea 10 years too late.. Plastic decking paving and grass exist.
@@Dazuk2023 this is cheaper and more durable. That is why you have so many different brands of products on the market. Ditch the others and come try this.
Respect this mindset and innovation displayed by this woman. Very admirable
This woman is amazing and innovative! She meeds so much more support!!
@Tony Euphoria I know, right?! She has such an infectious smile and energy! :-)
She needs support like she needs a glazed doughnut!!! oh...I thought you were talking about King...sorry, my bad....Gayle is gonna need support if she don't put that burger down!! like Scaffolding support!!
Shes black that isnt going to happen
You meant she needed much more supports

F'ckg you. The news are hypocritical capitalistic propaganda and you sallow it whole. All of that trash is coming from the side of the people making this report. Rich countries are demolishing those communities, than they are making the best effort to show how one person have made 20 bricks ot of it in a process that is totally worst for the environment. And you praise that. F'ryeck you.
Yes crazy in a good way. She’s so inspiring!
@@LyubomirIko ight mate, Good for ya'
Reporter: "Nairobi is one of the many countries contributing to the pollution." - with trash shipped to them from the US!!!
They buy it
They accept payment for it, they should blame the Kenyan government
@@democratpro no Americans pay countries to take it. China takes American trash as it's a rescyclng gold mine.

Makes more sense to me that some body got paid and the rest of the country got stuck with the trash, probably the case in every one of those countries.
She is an icon, she is the legend, and she is the moment
No, not helping at all. Making more plastic demand will happen and this makes us rely more off of plastic. The most this will do for us is make microplastics.
No, you are the moment. Living in 2021 and throwing DNA out the window. And calling yourself a unicorn or whatever fits that day. Try on some medication.

That perfect mixture of excitement and passion will make her change the world.
I do hope she gets the funding and support she needs to do it forward tho
Nope, other companies will copy her idea and make the same product except without recycled plastic. Also microplastics are a consern.
@@insectbite1714 exactly only white folks takes our ideas then claim it....she should of keep it off air....us Americans been stealing more than enough
@@DADONZMK I mean that’s why we have patent laws to prevent people from stealing ideas....
@@audi.6106 patent laws arent the same in other continents and poor people dont have the funds to just patent and turn something into a business. dont be ignorant, its not that easy, *especially* for her.
I'm sure there is enough plastic waste for anyone interested to start doing something like this on their own. The issue would be to train the consumers to buy from ethical, local businesses.
This lady is a genius and this makes me so happy! Creating jobs bricks and saving our Oceans! Bravo to her👏👏👏👏
Hey
Congratulations to this hardworking woman,nothing is a setback for anyone as long as one is determined
I'm impressed with her..they need to band together with her.
WE need to band together with her
she's a phenomenal woman turning plastic waste into something valuable.
African are very smart peoples.

Brilliant young woman! C'mon Americans, let's learn a lesson or two from her!
I make bricks.....but the Scarface kind.
Like putting waste in landfills????
Yeah bring her to America.
Im tired of Africa being neglected to this degree .... We see this all too often . But She is dope 💯 Outstanding
👏🏼💢👏🏼💢👏🏼
What's more important is that Africans (ESPECIALLY THE LEADERS) THEMSELVES must get tired of being exploited and exploiting their own countries for personal gain!
I love her energy.. she has such an amazing aura and is passionate about her purpose. :)
She's recycling, building homes, and creating jobs❤
All while paving her own way too.
@@tacitworm2687 pun intended?
@@mgjulesdev 😉
the only way to make it go away is when people realize that you can make money recycling
Imagine what else can be done with all that plastic!
This 🌎 needs more enthusiastic & brilliant women like her, who can really make a difference & inspire others to do the same.
God Bless Her!!!
How many tonnes of bricks has her factory made? I wish CBS had been more interested in the details, and less interested in making this intelligent young scientist fling herself into a trash piles.
"fornature" has a good video on the same subject. How it should be done.
I bet none. These fluff pieces about Africa are just that.
@Randall Johnson i would say "little girl"
she's made 0.025 tonnes so far. the country brings in 25000 tonnes each day. her factory emits toxic fumes into the neighborhood. her bricks wear smooth and become slippery in a year and people fall and get injured. the only one making money on this is the media. i am not fun at parties.
@@ionymous6733 the truth needs to be said.

She is also black
Hi

Why isn't this young woman cited/credited in the description or video content? She deserves as much credit as the reporter who did the story (Debora Patta meets who? Use her name)! Instead CBS is promoting the hosts of the morning show...
@cousin vera that escalated fast.
@cousin vera I agree with you
She's Black and I'm surprised CBS even reported this story. I follow African news and she is well known for this.
Nzambi Matee
That is odd they didn't mention her name might be an honest mistake...still its odd & looks bad
Brilliant this is the “Best” recycling project 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
@Aquatic Ape Way to ruin a feel good story.
Yes, but she needs alot of help.. because more garbage an plastic there than people can handle..
Nzambi Matee: "Let's turn all of this plastic that's covering our country into paving bricks."
Gayle King: "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. I like that"
One of these people is trying to make the world a better place. The other person is Gayle King.
I think she like the word creation, not the garbage situation in the pacific ocean.
I rather have those unbreakable plastic bricks
Then overpriced regular ones that don’t last.
What an amazing simple idea.
No, the plastic bricks become fragments and some bricks do last better also YOU CARE ABOUT PRICE??? *GREED*
@@insectbite1714 so what you mean is we should leave the plastic as it is-polluting rivers ,oceans ???
@@filtill no, we should recycle it into circuit boards which are always plastic and for bricks we should make them out of stone as it is an alternative to plastic right now and doesn't make mucroplastics. The current wood and plastics should be replaced with bamboo to reduce.
@@insectbite1714 circuit boards are silicon
They would just mark the price of them up and sell them back. They need to use them on our highways as some sort of asphalt
It’s sad there’s this much waste. But at least someone is coming up with a idea to clean it up.
Would be way more efficient to stop sending our garbage to poor countries.
@@markusschellenberg4684 they should say no they won't accept it. If this is even the case. No one is forcing them to do things.
It is more than just cleaning it up. it is taking trash and turning it into something useful, and then producing a product worth buying.
The United States exports waste plastics to China back when they used to recycle it into plastic materials that are then sold to factories and then shipped back to the USA for you to buy at the store. It stopped recently, but that is because Chinese lawmakers think that recycling is beneath the dignity of China. It is a good baseline economic foundation for nations that are otherwise bankrupt of any other skill set. Waste management is important, and poor nations can use that as a way to boost their industries from the bottom. Scrap metal recycling is similar in this aspect. Africa likes to import scrap metal in the form of old ships to melt them down and resell the metal as newly refined. Some small nations make a pretty penny off of it.
@@OutSideTheBoxFormat Like China did. Now we should drown in our own garbage or... prevent making it in the first place
@@markusschellenberg4684 that is their garbage, sure some is imported too but majority is theirs and they keep adding to it. Same as everyone else around the world
Wow this woman needs to a Nobel prize. She is so inspiring! These bricks should be used all over the place-there are people living in fragile structures in the slums, dealing with mold from rotting wood, this seems like a great building material. I hope she makes other products. The sky is the limit for her.
This lady is an inspiration 🕊️
Pay this woman so she can make a difference in her country.
You think salary is what she's looking for? She just discovered a brilliant idea. She's set to be the next billionaire with her Light Weight Brick Industry.
@@lordaimelord7848 in an I’ll fashioned way, that is exactly what I meant by pay this woman.
Countless times innovation from foreign overlooked countries go without compensation and are trampled by non-profits and MLMs. So again, pay this woman or invest in her so she can AT LEAST make a difference in her country; especially since we, the entitled homoglobes that sleep well at night - don’t really give a crap about them and their poverty/struggles.
Now that’s what you call an entrepreneur!!!!
Very impressive
Not really. Plastic bricks will only spread microplastics as plastic bricks are likely to get worn down. Microplastics ruin the enviorment.
Your a hater period!!!!
Shes literally making something out of nothing, and creating an opportunity where there was none before. Last time I checked that’s an entrepreneur.
@@alleonecrazywatchtv4006 no, other companies will copy hers and make bricks the same as hers but make it with *no* recycled plastic.
Listen I don’t have time to go back and forth with you on this. You can see the negative in it
if you want. You win.
Instead of donating money to spoiled useless people like internet celebrities do it for this woman right here. This is genius!
Yes world need people like her. She is enthusiastic about her work and u cant defeat those kinda people. She will win for sure.
She's amazing and I wish her nothing but the best and hopefully she gets all the support she needs to continue this project!

Agreed she has a vibrant energy which only black people has. That is true. All cultures has their own energy but the strongest energy are in mostly black people.
@@katiestewart2487 idk seems a bit biased if you’re black, and if you’re another nationality you’re just wrong IMO. There have been many other innovative white or Asian scientists, it’s really weird and unusual for someone to just target black people.
@@Danthast "Many other innovative white scientists"? Lmao the entire world was made by white scientists. All tech, all medicine, all exploration. What an odd way to phrase it. Also, Asians have done nothing.

I hope she was informed that heating plastic releases toxic fumes.
If she's not handling those fumes or working around that issue, then everyone in that building could be looking at an even shorter lifespan. This could also affect anyone living in a plastic building on a hot summer day.
Great short-term solution, but one that could cause more damage in the long-run.
She's amazing. May her tribe grow across continents.
Respect!🙏🇮🇳
This intelligent, beautiful young lady is on to something grand! Her invention could revolutionize the building industry especially when it comes to creating indestructible homes every where, but especially in regions that have very challenging weather or earthquake related issues. My biggest hope is that yt or the big corporations they run don’t steal her idea and pay her pennies on the dollar for it - or worst, pay her nothing at all for it. This is simply ingenious!
Yes. I completely agree!! She needs to be uplifted and supported or they will try and steal from her. Gail is best friends with Oprah, so maybe they have connected her with friends who can take her company to the next level...hopefully
Question here; how It does behave during a Fire? Been plastic and all.
@@mangotango76pulp59 that’s a good question.
@@mangotango76pulp59 I was thinking the same thing...yes it's innovative but it needs to be fire retardant for most brick construction.
@@mangotango76pulp59 I imagine it would be less flammable than wood, given the density of the material and presumably thermal conductivity, but smoke and smoldering would be a real problem if it did get hot enough to catch fire
The USA as a developed country should process its own garbage, instead of exporting it to other countries, especially third-world countries. P/s: I am referring to this video which said that America dumping/exporting their trashes into African continents.
As an US citizen I agree with you. I would also prefer if our country stayed out of all other countries governing, political, financial and warring problems. The US has a strong enough military that we can defend ourselves from most of not all attacks so let other countries do as they will. There are enough resources in the US to produce whatever is needed. Our citizens quality of life, financial and political concerns would be far better if we focused on ourselves rather than the rest of the world. I am all for stopping all exports and imports. Just my opinion, sure there are flaws in the idea, no solution is perfect.
We do recycling has been a thing here in Europe for well over a decade now. I have 3 bins to separate rubbish into. One is turned into fuel pellets somewhere nearby and the others turned back into whatever. Problem is they have found ways to tax us for every kind of waste they "don't like" or in other words can't profit from.
Just you guys and China not signed up to any of the agreements / creating the most pollution. The US military burns more gas than 145 countries combined. Yet we pay taxes so you can continue its bs. I'm sick of hearing about either of you telling everyone else we need to cut down.

Perhaps this is the Trash or garbage that was actually being reference to that's being "Exported" into other countries. because I thought we were taking in Canada's too. I can't see us shipping our out while shipping others in.
@@snowman374th I thinks it’s funny the rest of the world thinks it’s USA against the world. To me it feels more like major cities with high populations of the world against all the folks just trying to live a simple life.
She has very positive vibes!! God bless her
Why does she have subtitles on what she says. She speaks perfectly good English
Wow, she should get a world award! This needs to be implemented worldwide
It already is in Use in the US ... ALL Park Benches & kids playgrounds built in the US since 1980 ... are made out of recycled plastics bottles ( formed into fake lumber )& the rubber ground" is made up of recycled ground up tires.
I love her excitement. I pray she and her people get what they deserve.
She was adorable when asked about her first brick
These are the kind of people every generation needs to have
I support the sentiment that countries should deal with their wastes on their own but it is unfortunate that USA uses it power to exploit youngest nations in the world
US is actually the youngest nation out of them all lol.
@@Brandon-th9pi I did refer to the size rather than development
@CantOutRunADuck 😂😂😂 as long as you get the point
None of this plastic is created by the consumer ,it's all created by the companies who are bottling these things in plastic, they can change to hemp products that would be at least be biodegradable
@Davro Tu Ok, then choose a different fiber. It doesn't have to be hemp or nothing
Yes Girlfriend! That's the real conversation.
@Davro Tu recycling is fake it’s always been a lie !!! The only real thing you can recycle is metal and glass . Plastic isn’t recycling they just move it around the world or burn it in 99% of places. It’s to expensive and takes lots of chemicals to refine plastic causing more pollution . Ban plastic and use glass or metals .
If hemp was going to save anything it would be used everywhere.
@Davro Tu Hemp has been legal in many counties, for centuries. It was not banned ever, in some nations. Search for what it is used for in those places. You'll have a good idea of it's actual uses.
Her passion is so genuine. You can see this was a great accomplishment for her. This makes me happy.
Wow. Just when you think there's no solution for something, someone sees the problem and doesn't quit! Glad you're in this world!
What a wonderful woman and a patriot she is. Paving brick from plastic is a great idea. She can expand it to produce other building materials also.
This woman is truly amazing and an inspiration to all the people around her!
what sense does it make to make bricks and not build houses the shipping the bridge to other countries they still living in teepee huts this is all just a propaganda ask them how many houses have they built none
I love her sprit .....May she b successful in helping us to live on our earth
Truly yes nice saying
How is it that one Kenyan woman can be innovative enough to come up with this concept by herself and then there's countries like America and U.K. that are renown for educating but out of all the businessmen and and entrepreneurs that exist, not one of them have come up with this genius idea.
Thank god for people like this woman!!!! Now that she has done this you wonder why we haven’t already been using this technique. We’ll it doesn’t matter anymore this woman is doing more than her part to tackle something that seems impossible.
It is time to hold the companies that produce and distribute plastics accountable for what they sell.
why do we have Carbon Tax for simply breathing? it is stupid my breath does not hurt ocean
they should charge a "Green Tax" for every plastic bottle every company makes then use this money to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch
also companies not allowed to make up thier prices higher or people will revolt
👍👍👍👍👍
we could just use incineration power plants like Sweden does and get energy from the trash, displace fossil fuels use, reduce methane from landfills, prevent tons of plastic from going into the ocean and much more.
CBS needs to mention her name. She deserves recognition and shouldn’t just be a source of a story for the media house to exploit.

One of the greatest solutions I’ve ever seen, but the problem is it’s too perfect. There’s a reason why most of the world hasn’t embraced eco-friendly innovation, and that’s because certain groups benefit off of the current situation.

I saw a spot on her months ago. She's brilliant. I hope she's getting a patent in America & trademark. She really needs get major backing.
Theres really nothing new here. Plastic has been added into concrete for ages. Would love to hear how they combat microplastics in ground water when it wears in roads and pathways though.

She built the machine awesome we know there's plenty of people that could change this situation where there is a will there is a way
She does the dirty job that most people would not want to do it. Her sincerity to help mankind is immeasurable. She deserves a global recognition for her inventive idea which could substantially reduce the harmful plastic waste and also create such an amazing brick.
If other shops could easily copy this: That would be great.
It would speed up the garbage clean-up.
The more the plastics are recycle to make other products the more they will keep making plastic. Maybe we need to find a better material then plastic?
Well making plastic into bricks that are likely to get worn down and make microplastics will not actualy help.
@@insectbite1714 it would isolate it and would still clean up the rivers and oceans in comparison to what they are now.
@@lcarus42 "isolate" no isolated would be making plastic into memory boards for computers because those are not exposed to the elements and will not make microplastics. We should keep bricks the way they are because their original eco-friendly properties have not been replaced with plastic. We should *reduce* the range of items that are made out of plastic, *reuse* memory boards as they can be reused, and make them from *recycled* plastic where the manufacturers will buy in on it to be enviormentaly friendly for Samsungs new goals.
@@insectbite1714 its not the final effort, its the start. Pessimist much?
and a better word than isolate would be concentrate. It would at least get it out of the flowing rivers and put it out of the way for now. Until better solutions can be done.
that lady is so charismatic! and her solution to the problem is awesome. use the "invulnerability" of plastic to build things we actually want to be invulnerable.
Genius! She may have literally discovered the perfect way to save the planet from the disaster of plastics. Most people don't realize how terrible plastic is and wouldn't have been to the environment. Bravo. I'm now more hopeful ❤
People like her make me feel proud to be a human. What a beautiful soul ❤️
What an amazing young lady. She’s doing her part to save this country from plastic waste.
Damn man, good for her. God bless her, her attitude and personality. I tell you one thing, makes me happy to see people like that who care. I'm a recycle holic myself and I'm enlightened to see that. God bless ya girl!
She is awesome! One of few people who are trying to make this world better! Bless her ✌
Imagine her going into Shark Tank. Good for her innovative idea.
Will be laughed at and send home because would not do 60% of equity
Wow. When she was showing the bricks I was thinking of big LEGO’s out of all the recycled plastic and people buying them to build tiny houses or backyard stuff. The bricks they made are beautiful.
In that case we rich westerners should keep our garbage to build our own houses with. I'ld rather have us reduce our consumption by 90% and continue to use healthy materials for housing and raising our children.
@@markusschellenberg4684 yes! I so agree. So much! I love new ways to recycle but I have a chemical sensitivity and have noticed that polyesters made of recycled bottles really affect me. There are a lot of plastics in general that affect me and I can’t have in my house. But it’s hard to avoid and things like dehumidifiers aren’t made to last 20 years like they used to. Its like stuff is made as if it’s disposable crap. And it’s all so much plastic and metal wasted. It’s insane.
It’s actually a saddened situation for 3rd world countries to have to get “creative” because we dumped all that crap onto their countries.
That's their own plastic the trade deal with the US hasn't gone through yet

Aquatic Ape I guess I was aiming for goodness....🤔☺️
The world: WHY THE HECKLES ARNT WE FUNDING THIS WOMAN
The 1%: cuz we don’t live in plastic
Edit: I really love how angry people get at others for trying to come up with solutions
America doesn't throw garbage in the oceans and we've been using plastic waste to build roads for years
@@mike971000 then why we sending so much to Kenya?????
@@mike971000 roads? Stupidest idea I've ever heard.
@@mike971000 wouldn't it melt in the summer heat
@@mike971000 Yeah they said in the damn video America ships a billion tons to 95 other countries.
This lady is set to become the next billionaire with her brilliant plastic bricks.

@Aquatic Ape

Tesla was a failed technology too until Elon Musk took over.

It already exist in the market but not for building houses. Just as decorative..like wall panelling.
What a fantastic, positive, educated woman. What she is achieving is incredible.
It takes courage to see struggles and pain as inspiration and excitement. She's an amazing human being.
Imagine being so wasteful that you can't figure this out with thousands of scientists working to "tackle pollution", but a few hard workers in Africa can do it in 9 months.
Do you seriously believe that this "solution" will stop rich countries producing criminal amounts of waste and then sending it to poor countries. Because it is there, the problem.
@@markusschellenberg4684 we wouldn't have to send it there if we processed it like they're doing it
@@padalan2504 Nobody should mix different plastics, heat then up and produce anything with that. Best toxic cocktail one can imagine. That's why we don't do that in our countries. We only re-use plastic when it is pure. And to draw a solution: We might stop sending plastics (new & used) all over the world. It's not helping society, it's destroying it.
@@markusschellenberg4684 But in fact we do do that, just not in places we want to look "pretty". Fence posts are made of recycled plastic mixture, so is any plastic or rubber construction component. The greyish or brownish plastics you can see all around is all recycled plastic mixture. You can see the little bits that failed to melt and mix when you cut the plastics open.
Nobody's gonna expect anyone to eat from it, and it is not actually toxic by the virtue of its presence.
We mow laws with plastic strings, but should be concerned about microparticles on the sidewalk next to it? No, we're just taking what we like, recycling things that can still look pretty and move the ugly out of sight. And it ends up in Africa where they have to actually solve the problem and not just talk about it. It's not like we wouldn't have the tech to resolve issues with it being toxic during production, it's about supply and demand, the wasteful approach of modern countries.
I just asked someone, "What happened to Debra who hosted 3rd Degree on Etv?" And lo, here she is.
I have read in the comments people placing blame on specific nations and politicians. The reality of the issue is that the plastic waste issue has been going on for decades, across different political parties and various nations. Here we have a person who is offering an answer on how to deal with plastic waste, at least part of an answer. This is the type of problem solving that needs to be supported and financed. This young lady is an example of the type of people we need throughout the world helping to solve these types of problems.
