Using Recycled Plastic To Do Wonders

Out of all the plastic worldwide, only 9% gets recycled. 9%. And about 400,000,000 tonnes of plastic waste is produced each year. That's a lot, and we can do better than that.

And don't think no one is paying attention to this. People are acting.

And we can solve two problems (sustainability problems and not that much affordable housing) with one solution: recycled plastic housing.

In 2019, a Canadian company created a house made with over 600,000 recycled plastic bottles. As an Airbnb, it wowed visitors as the first of its kind.

And not only that: in Europe, the first plastic house was created by a company called Save Plastics.

And one more: a Norwegian startup called Othalo is designing sustainable, affordable homes to build in Africa, in 2022. Using entirely recycled plastic, it is not only going to reduce tons and tons of waste; it's going to help those millions of people that live in the slums.

So what can YOU do?

Of course you can do many things to help the environment in this way:

1. You can donate to organizations working on this mission. By donating, you are giving money and helping them succeed in their goal to support people and clean the world.

2. Spread the impact. This is an exceedingly new topic, and still not many people have heard of this movement. So, from speaking to sharing with friends, you can share this mission, this message, and help everyone around recognize and spread even more this mission.

Of course, there's many more things you can do, up till as far as working on the projects yourself. Cleaning plastic can be done in an innovative, twice - the - effect way. It could be recycled into high - quality items that are usable and affordable for people.

So, in conclusion, recycling plastic can do wonders and help even more people who are struggling to survive. And if we work together, we can help those hundreds of millions of people living in extreme poverty and clean the world of waste at the same time.
