- The United Nation has warned that at current levels, the earth could be awash with over 12 billion tons of plastic trash by the middle of the century. According to the world body, up to 5 trillion grocery bags are used each year, and like most plastic garbage, barely any is recycled. One Kenyan entrepreneur, keen on going green, is turning plastic waste into value. Our reporter Daniel Arapmoi brings us more.

This is fantastic! So glad to see people out there, doing what they can to improve the world around them, may we all learn from this man's fine example!
Somalians, Kenyans, you have all my respect for this job ! Keep on ! Next step: Use sun mirrors to melt the plastic ?
That is a wonderful idea with the mirrors. Thank you. I want to start this business in my village in Bulgaria and the mirrors are a better option than burning plastic and polluting the air. Great idea.
@@svetlanikolova7673 I wish you fortune and success. I'm sure we could use Fresnel lens like this: ruclips.net/video/YoMjBkKOkPc/видео.html
This is freaking brilliant!
Well done! I have so much respect for people like this
Great approach towards saving environmental pollution. Need to educate others also on plastic recycling.
Great job, we need more of this!
More uses for this material must be found 😊
i saw he was making wall with some plastic and other components and they were patented product you can search if you want
Africa should be investing more in this type of stuff.
Dr. Aghan is a trailblazer. We thank God he is doing it in Kenya. Proud to know the innovations
What a great example for us all , absolutely wonderful use of waste. Go Africa lead the world 🌍 in cleaning up the earth 👍
A wide variety of things can be done to reduce plastic wastage.
Plastic manufacturers will continue to supply plastic while the demand for it remains.
Every time we buy food that is wrapped in plastic packaging, (fruit and vegetables for example) we contribute to the demand for that particular type of plastic. We can reduce the demand if we choose to buy loose fruit and vegetables.
Independent fruit and veg stores don't use a large amount of plastic. Most of all their fruit and vegetables are sold loose.
Another thing we can do to reduce demand on plastic is to buy milk in glass bottles. I buy milk in glass bottles from a local milk delivery company. The price is higher but it's very convenient to have milk and other groceries delivered to your door.
One of the best and excellent standards in construction supply, infrastructure is by using this types of graded materials designed and perfected for quality/quantity that can withstand earthquakes, exposure to too much water/flood, that can reconcile/realize the measures as well as the grades of quality based on technical and administrative support for construction standards and measures. 2022 onwards.
How about the pollutant or carcinogen being released into the air by the process.
Everything can’t be just perfect. This way May cut down on somethings . Make certain problems less.
It is better that we reduce choking fishes and turtles from plastic bags..
Absolutely.
The fumes from melting plastic causes another problem
And YOUR solution? yeah, you have none,,just WHINING, Solve the problem,,THEN we talk
This is so inspiring! Amazing work!
Great idea. Thank you for having the initiative
Make sheds that look like mushrooms and hobbits. I want one so bad.
I can also use hobbits for my 2 dogs and 17 cats.
Think about making waterproof plastic house siding and roofs. Water tanks for home use, beautiful plastic vases and foldable tables.The possibilities are endless
Great job guys.
Garden furniture is way to go, but more colourful than grey.
garbage is a renewable resources this is what we need today.
Worst part is people don’t give a damn until they are neck deep in trash.
This guy litter-ally wants them to be living in their our trash
how to get further information about them? it is really fascinating
Smart guy. Keep up the good work!
At least some people in Africa are trying to better there land and people, my hat's off to those people l wish l could help them, unfortunately my time on this Earth is almost up,l wish them luck ✌️.
Hope this man becomes very rich for his efforts.
Coca Cola and other single use plastic producers should be forced to subsidize projects like this
I want to visit the factory
Nice one creative is the way
Great idea
How do we get in contact with him?
Are these products 100% plastic or is something else used as a filler?
So will the chemicals in plastic leak into groundwater?
absolutely.
No since they get sequester into tiles just like flyash in case flyash bricks
You know there is a micro plastics problem too, yes?
@@sainiamarjeet yes they will actually. Even in production off gassing occurs. Lead isn't used in gasoline anymore because it pollutes and poisons. Heated roof tiles or anything in the hot sunlight and radiation will offgas chemicals even more.
Very good work
Hopefully the material is durable
2-3 times stronger than conventional material
With china shutting there boarders to the world with plastic, Why has this not gone global yet and gone into mass production around the world? I'm huge into plastic and would love to run with something like this in Australia but the government want's nothing to do with it. I would think the plastic roof tiles and seating would be amazing and something that should be consider in every country. I see so many people turning waste plastic into fossil fuel and re-using the oils in machinery. Why has this not been researched more and shown to the world? Great video.
Good Man!!!
Good man
Thanks for the great knowledge. Can this technique be applied for road construction? Plastic waste, rock-sand / dust, Stone chip etc., to be converted into road-top spreading material.
You on to sumn🤔
Excellent scheme.
burning plastic releases hydrochloric acid, sulfur dioxide, dioxins, furans , heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and particulate matter. Kudos for the development, but anyone processing these plastics need to wear protective respirators or face long-term respiratory and other health problems. While plastic are problematic, when in left as plastics, their carbon is trapped. Melting releases the carbon back into the atmosphere.
Melting not burning
I think the problem is worse than that even. For example... microplastics and off-gassing from the hot sun
Save the World!
PLEASE!!!
We must save it together! 🤝 Otherwise result will again be taken for granted and ruined..aka Atlantis etc. 🙄
Doe he also recycle Unrecyclable plastics like Chips packets too?
Can I get name of the person and his company detail
Great job. But it work like. Because i living India your own business in Kenya like. So looking for the unit see u give visa in Kenya. Please note. Thanks for your
Can contact/watsapp us (+919717280820) if like to setup plant
BRAVOOOOO!
Parabéns ao Kenia!
Can it be combined with unsuable Sahara desert sand?
Will this creates more horrid gas released as the plastic burns ? 🥶🥶🥶
Plastic is melted not burnt
Vn. I love it
Yeah but the way they making it, is toxic to workers.
dunkin donato some plastic if melted under a certain temperature do not have toxic fumes. Some places turn the plastic back into fuel, and the fuel is purer than diesel.. so less pollution if burnt.
Nice
Anyone with the info of this guy
i just dont think plastic is a good idea for building with, like what about the toxic fumes that plastic gives off or isit just me
When plastic is burned, it releases dangerous chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, sulfur dioxide, dioxins, furans and heavy metals, as well as particulates. These emissions are known to cause respiratory ailments and stress human immune systems, and they're potentially carcinogenic.
I worked in a plastics factory for many years; it's not a good deal even with all kinds of presumed safety measures and so-called forced fresh air.
so what else is new. African women are worried more about skin lightner than clean up their own hoods. The same problem in the United States
Like European women are more worried about butt implants breasts implants and tanning their skin from this whole episode this is what your pea-size brain managed to pick...what a chump!!!!
@Ant Maf shut the hell up- the fact is you hate yourselves
to CGTN tv and interviewees ...Please encourage people who are interviewed on TV and especially people who could use Monetary DONATIONS to have a Special VEST made that list contact information for that individual or company. The Vest should have an Email address or phone number of company name near the NECK area of the person being interviewed so it will be clearly seen by the CAMERA. Persons who want to DONATE will NOW know how to contact. You see so much need around the world but there is no way to DONATE directly because No one knows how to contact this individual or company. A simple listed Email address or Phone number that can be picked up by the camera is VERY SMART and easy to do. Call it the INTERVIEW VEST ...Maybe have a couple VEST on hand where the persons contact information can be printed on paper inserts and slipped into pockets before an interview....even have the vest sponsored and sell advertisement space....You never know who is watching and wants to help..
👍
Somalia had this sort of waste recycling for the last 9 years
Tell them there not the first . This idea came frkm somalia
For the last 9 years Somalia has fighting themselves, they don't even have plastic waste to recycle, wish washy hyperbole..
@@mkenyahalisi9406 they can hate all they want, but they will perpetually live in our shadows.
@@davismate6999 He isn't lying, we have a couple of factories that do this, no need to be jealous.
Or you could just go back to glass and paper bags
I have 800mt mix plastic scrap and I am looking buyer
Can contact/watsapp us (+919717280820) if like to setup plant
THIS is how you solve a problem,,,and NOT by over taxing the citizens then WASTE that money on Useless Gov't run projects. Individualism and Privately own businesses.
"...saving on carbon emission". What about toxic emission from melting the plastic?
It's probably lesser harm than leaving the plastic unrecycled.
