Gallery of Upcycled Plastic (GoUP)
My idea is to set up a Gallery of Upcycled Plastic. My idea works to reduce on the large volumes of already accumulated plastic wastes through the production of art work and other plastic accessories.
Fuel composed with plastic
🌍Hello, today we would like to propose our ecologic idea 😊:
Instead of producing fuel with petrol, let's produce it with plastic garbage! We have tons of plastic and moresome it makes work for different type of workers : the ones who will collect the plastic, the ones who will transform it into liquid and for the ones who will transport it to the car station.
Here is our idea! We hope you will like it and thanks anyway for reading it! 🌍
Note: we are sorry if our English isn't perfect, we are not fluent 😉 Hope you will understand!
Envopatch Recycling
The challenge of waste disposal has become one of the most serious environmental problems facing many cities in Nigeria due to the peculiarity of its shallow aquifers (unconfined, porous, permeable and shallow water table). The million tonnes of plastic that litters our street clog up the waterways and drainages eventually end up in the oceans every year are threatening biodiversity, human health, and also resulting to environmental hazards ranging from flooding to unhealthy atmosphere in most parts of the city.
Environmental Patch Recycling (ENVOPATCH) is a waste management organization registered under CAC/RC/NO 3049055 centred on community development which broadly cuts into health, education, environment and cultural diversity. Our business is located at the heart of Owerri, Imo State. Her aim is to develop the communities in Nigeria using every means we have available to us to enrich the society closest to us. Our goal is to encourage and motivate Nigerians to recycle and make the country a better ecological place by stopping plastic pollution. To achieve this, we introduced an incentivized recycling programme "Waste to wealth" where citizens will be rewarded for every recyclable waste sorted from sources (landfills, market places, resort centres, schools etc) and loyalty towards appropriate waste disposal and management.
The perceived challenge in waste management led to the need for smart and rewarding way of encouraging users to dispose waste appropriately through an easy to use technology-driven automated and incentivized system. It was established that the social behaviour of citizens can be improved by introducing smart incentives as the motivation for appropriate waste management.
With the use of the "waste to wealth smart-kit", recyclables will no longer go into drainages leading to flooding and unhealthy atmosphere, recyclables will no longer be burnt as practices in some places polluting the environment, and recyclables will no longer occupy landfills spaces.
4upcycling
We collect, clean and upcycle plastic waste making new accessories for our daily life.
How? We create a strong, flexible and waterproof fabric that we use later for fashion products adopting the same properties than plastic.
Plastic waste LDPE4 is our raw material.
Handtaschen aus umweltfreundlichem, nachhaltigen und ethischem Garnl
Handtaschen aus Kunststoff oder Leder müssen nicht sein! Bei der Bekleidung findet ein Umdenken bereits statt. Ich stelle in Einzelstücken bereits jetzt Handtaschen aus Oeko Tex 100- und GOTS-zertifiziertem Garn her. Ausserdem rette ich auch Garn, welches von Textilfabriken in den Müll gewandert wäre. Wegen der Stabilität besteht das Material aus 50% Baumwolle und 50% Polyacryl (Baumwolle braucht sehr viel Wasser). Jedoch habe ich auch bereits mit 100% Baumwolle gearbeitet. Im Endprodukt muss nicht 1g Kunststoff verarbeitet werden.
Ich möchte gern andere zur Herstellung dieser einbeziehen bzw. möchte Textilfutter zur weiteren Stabillität einbringen und noch weitere Modelle entwerfen. Dafür kann ich mir vorstellen andere einzubeziehen.
