Thanks so much!
My dad never wasted anything, as he was a product of the post-depression era. One of the many things he did to save was using bar soap to bathe. Once the bar of soap became a sliver, he put it into a bucket that sat in the corner of the shower. Once the bucket filled up enough, he would rub his washcloth in it and suds himself up! We thought he was a little weird for that, but really, he was a genius. 😂 So many memories of the crazy things he'd do to repurpose & reuse. I think it brought him a lot of joy, honestly. 🥰
so they recycled old videos to make one video about recycling?
Yep
Yes
Yeh
Yuh huh
Pretty much yeah
Gotta say, thank you for making videos like these. It helps cheer me up from the constant awful news in terms of politics, economics and the environment. Good to see people who are actually making a difference.
The awful news is always there and it never seems to change. Hopefully it can get better.
There’s a company in Australia using coffee grounds to grow mushrooms 🍄 and another has come up with a way to create various nut milks that are in jars instead of tetra packs. It’s also more affordable since one jar of nut milk concentrate can make up to 80litres of nut milk
These videos are always amazing to watch. The added transitions makes the old video exciting to watch again!!😄
An interesting point about the cigarette butt recycling. Composting tobacco remains actually acts as a natural pesticide, since that is literally what nicotine is.
Isn't this a re-upload of different old videos?
it is
Everyone recycles old videos into new ones so they always have content to upload
Yup it's a compilation of different videos
It's called a compilation.
Sharp observation bro..
Love the idea of upcycling the flip flops but the grinding step produce so many micro plastic waste that im concerned about their lives
They're wearing masks during that process so I think they'll be fine
I bought some custom Adrian Martinus soundbar shelves made from recycled skateboards thanks to Business Insider👍
Coffee ground is actually very good compost. Why make eyeglass frames. Makes absoluttely no sense.
I believe it makes fairly acidic compost though. Which is still compost just not good for all applications.
@@magsj6474 you have to mix it with others materials, for example wood chips than you get a good compost.
landfill conditions are not compost conditions. landfills are anaerobic environments and cant sustain beneficial aerobic bacteria
Also seems the energy required to turn them into glasses probably outweighs the benefit
I personally would love some glasses made out of coffee. It’s not necessarily to save the environment, it’s just a cool product.
I can only imagine, but I still believe.
Now I hope we can take our world seriously. All love, goodnight

Making bricks, etc out of something else is cool, but what happens when the bricks, for instance, reach the end of their useful life? Do they end up in a landfill, or can they be recycled again?
Exactly. Pinpointed the fatal flaw in that "sulution"
Its going to be scraped eventually somehow, but it also means that we dont have to extract natural resources and refining it to the same extend. Its a winner in the long run, because a lot of it is finite ...And its cheaper for the consumer (For the most part)
@@fiatlux4058 not really a flaw, most of them can be recycled again to make more bricks, even the good old red bricks we used can be recycled again
The fact that what people throw away can be recycled is a great thing, but that's not the answer for the future. First step is to use less, waste less, re use, or buying in less/no plastic or other environment damaging package.
i wonder what happens about all electronic waste that i never saw getting reuse or recycled
I LOVE the flip-flop creations!! Where can we get some?
Look up “ocean sole”
That's made from waste. That's so great
See if you can find them online
In college I helped in a research project that turned coffee grounds from some nearby cafes into acoustic panels, this was in a dense city where small coffee shops don’t have the space to compost it
my 8 year old and 6 year old twins enjoyed your video very much and wanted to thank you for your work 🌱
23:50 "Too noisy" no one had ear protection.
You can check w/ local regulations, but where I live, if the deceased is buried w/in 3 days of death, there's no need for embalming. My Dad always said he wanted to be buried in a plain pine box, so that's what we did. We held a memorial service a few days later. No embalming + no funeral = very inexpensive send-off. No need to spend thousands...and no chemicals in the environment.
That's so great ❤
"10 surprising episodes you can recycle into a new compilation"
we have coffee mugs made out of coffee just like the sunglasses. even when we drink water the smell of coffee makes it more enjoying
The fact that restaurants dispose fish skins is beyond me. Those shits are delicious when fried! (Unless those are spoiled)
Also while i love the idea of recycling soap bars,, im concerned with the expiry date if its used for skin. But that should be safe for inanimate objects e.g you use it for washing ur car or carpet
Fabulous!
Sculptures from flip flops is by far the most random business idea. I can't believe that turns a profit.
I really love the contents of BI ❤
I keep wondering how I can become a staff of the producer team 😂
The one for the hair was already a very famous thing from the leukaemia foundation which takes oil from the water!
awesome
I like this,this is nice
Apparently, one of the "10 Surprising Things You Can Recycle" are old videos.
These are all "old" videos, an overview about different ways to recycle / reuse. It's mentoined at the end of the video.
Love it
Good 👍😊
Please do a video of recycled coconut shells
If i were to work in one of these, i’d be happy to know that I’m helping the environment
Lots of stuff seems to produce methane. Why not collect it & use it for fuel?
Latetly I was thinking of if the "Line" gets even an airfilter for that.
The hair is so cool
Is any company recycle groundnut (peanut) pod waste?
Ironic how they had to put subtitles to those French speaking a good English, but a muffled Canadian they didn't subtitle him
the beard base for the climate adhesive😂
Consume less, discard less, reuse more and grow your own.
Am the only one that thinks the video style of this mashup is reminiscent of Matilda and Baby’s Day Out? 🤷🏾♂️
0:19 did they throw a credit card out 😭
America needs to discover the idea of keep cups. If you drink coffee every day: just buy one. You don't need to create landfill for something that is expected.
it should be starbucks job to give them
It makes more sense for Starbucks to use biodegradable cups.
@josephmartin5483 except they are a con, they are not biodegradable except with very high heat for very long time. If they go to landfill they will not biodegrade, if they are chucked in the street they will not biodegrade. They are greenwashed plastic.
Those who make recycled art, I wanna have some at home :C
Another source of hair would be wool. How many sheep are no longer profitable as we have replaced natural fibers with polyester and the like?
I'm absolutely not an expert in recycling, so genuine question here : if you crush very finely and press together plastic and aluminium, isn't the resulting material impossible to recycle ? It sounds more like "re-use" than "re-cycle" to me, or "delayed waste". Someone will have to process this brick in the future and it will be even harder no ? If they just burn/bury the whole thing then it is really just delayed waste no ?
...can't fish skin be uhh,, composted?
😮😮
💡😮
None of these things help the environment in a measurable way sadly. It's a feel good exercise. When you could get people to have coffee 1 day less a year and it would have the same benefit, or probably more
These things never scale. They are in the same place where they were 10 years ago. No use.
How about just quit smoking, or drinking too much coffee, using plastic short lasting shoes like flip flops...what I'm saying is : how did people manage to live before all that industrial garbage?! Can't we restart using things that are lifelong and focus on things that are quality lifelong rather than having huge quantity of harmful garbage.
By the way where would those plastic toys go afterwards??? That's hilarious when they say that the glu is non toxic 😆😆😆 while the workers are all wearing masks 🤣🤣.
With the body recycling did anyone think what would happen when there's too much fungus???? I'm terrified to think about fungus covering the entire planet. People just stop intruding into normal cycle of life as it was intended to be.

27:21 wait. what the actual fk is that car? what model is that? didnt know tesla had another model other than the announced 4? somebody tell me what model that is!
Put time stamps on the video.
Why can't old plastic bottles be melted into bricks and used to build things or in road beds
They are. Even are clothes is made out of plastic.
why not wash and re use the chopsticks?
Some restaurants have reusable chop sticks. Disposable chop sticks makes sense for to go orders.
11 if you count the recycled episodes of this show...
In my point of view, this type of recycling is useless, because they use rubbish in order to make something as useless as the rubbish itself. Who does really need a giraffe made of flip-flops? It's just waste of energy, isn't it be better if these people were planting trees?
How about the bricks and recycled asphalt? The bamboo furniture made from chopsticks? And the work created for people in poor countries.
@@zyxw2000 1. I don't believe that these bricks are more ecofriendly than these made of clay, which (the clay) is probably the most natural material, 2. I work in Asphalt company in Bulgaria, and here we recycle asphalt , too. So this is not something new, which happens only in New York. 3. Bamboo wood itself is one of the cheapest kind of wood, so it is pointless to collect chopsticks, transport them, "bake" them in order to make them monolite again.
And for the people in poor countries I already wrote, that it's better to plant new trees, than to work in these fabrics where they are exploited and you can see how healthy is the environment.
I wonder how the Ukrainian company is doing now?
How about all the medical packaging. I get through loads of pills in metal and plastic film. Thet should be recycled.
I don't think I even produce a half pound of garbage a day
I miss the old guy
Pre-recorded videos so what's the point of the host?
why only 10? you can recycle everything
Why is any of this "surprising"? I have recycled almost every item on this list. I suppose the younger generations simply do not know this.
Usually it all gets thrown into the same bin and isn't recycled. Double check what your local recycling station does with the trash!
New
not sure how many vaccines it takes to update TV MA14
I introduced the best betting platform to my Landlord last week, as am talking now we're both tenants 😹🤔
last time i heard this thing is Nazi German using human hair made cloth in WW2.
That was made-up. Like the human soap
Read but never reply?
v old vdos compilations. And those plastic bricks r total cancer.. Now in our own wall.
Recycled plastic bags is a joke.
"Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeev". It's Kiev, or Kyev if you want to be political about it. It is not a one syllable word.
It's kinda a NO for me 🤢
God bless! Prayer here when you want and know that Jesus Christ saves love! Repent and trust Him love! start a relationship with Him, He, God, wants you!
I don't make any trash I just throw it away.
