What country should we visit next? If you enjoyed this video then you'll love the card we've linked at 17:21 🐝🦋

Found out my local land fil doesn't separate the trash from recycling when I went there with a car full of cardboard. They charge me extra to have me separate it but they dump it all in the same place.

it means a lot to be able to see the people behind the change, thank you for the work!

Wonderful idea. Great that you trained people to do this. Keep up the good work!!

Am in Kenya in Africa n i can assure u it's not an issue of 'inability,'to recycle but rather lack of the insentive to take care of our saroundings

I love the benches and stools.

I am John Pyaso watching from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬.l really love what you are doing at Gambia.Please can you come to Papua New Guinea and set up a same project.We have alot of plastic bottles and waste lying around our environment.Thankyou . John Pyaso

so that's why those benches in school had a weird texture. they were made of extruded recycled plastic lol.

I honestly can’t put into words how much I love you guys and how proud I am of the amazing people you are and the work you’re doing. I found this really quite emotional one of your best videos xx❤️xx

Precious Plastic is the perfect name for this. It's so embarrassing that humanity can come up with a class of material as amazing as Plastics, and then we turn around and mostly make garbage out of it. Good for them, here's hoping more people follow suit.

Thanks so much for telling this story! I have been watching Project Kamp (Dave from Precious Plastic) since they started their project and loved hearing about Precious Plastic. It’s so good to know that it’s making a difference all around the world! I love what you guys are doing and am looking forward to seeing more from you.

It would be great to also hear that a company who does solar panels etc got involved with the new business in Gambia and completely set them up with solar panels etc, this would save them lot's of money when they are putting their great machines to use.

Here in Italy, where I live, we recycle mostly everything from plastic, paper, glass, electronical devices, and metal. I personally take a trip to the dump ince a month to bring my recycling things. Thanks for showing us what you have helped do. Ps also our wet waist like food and garden stuff.

What a really inspirational video guys. Raising awareness here is so needed. I will be using as a teaching tool! Keep up the good work and thank you!

companies making the plastic should be responsible for their cheap disposable environmentally disastrous products. making these poor people falsely responsible for it is a scam that lets the companies keep increasing production of their polluting products.

Go gambians, you are great !

I think for the tourism stuffs like the souvenir, it would be nice to put like a card behind the souvenir counter stating that it's recycled plastic with the picture of process, so people know that they are really helping by purchasing it. Also with some of the recycled products like that bench, maybe put some sort of mark that it's from recycled plastic. That way, people are more aware of it.

Hi BrothersMake thank you this project

This video brought literal tears of joy to my eyes, amazing work ❤

Anyone else catch the older lady from the area with a Michael Kors gold watch?

All that plastic.. I see diesel ⛽️ and gas and even building material.. ecollabo8 makes building material and outside furniture.. their andirondack furniture are lovely.. but the turning plastic into fuel and even a propane gas is what I like because you can use it for your vehicles and all generators and even cook with it on gas stoves and heating for furnaces.. and the burning process is clean.. not pollution.. many ppl living on isolated island are doing this. To operate their generators for AC and electric and also all this gas fueled landscaping equipment..

This is an amazing video, am inspired!

Future archeologists will always call this the plastic age, based on the rock layers a million years from now. If there are any archeologists

Wow, amazing work from you all. The potential impact can be incredible. Love it

Loved it! Keep up the good work!

Thank you SO much for this video!

1:04 would you please use blue instead of red --- I'm colorblind and I couldn't see the border until I looked it up elsewhere. Now I see it also wut now I get why the name starts with The

I DO think this is a very inspirational video. I also thought to myself, how soon those machines were going to break, or get messed up by improper handling. And if you need a whole afternoon of safety teaching? Well, I'm not sure that those guidelines are going to be adhered to very well. The other thing I thought was, do they really need plastic beads? What I'm thinking is... they need more plastic chairs for people to sit on, because obviously every household there has plastic chairs. So why not have a injection mold that makes plastic chairs. And use plastic that is more abundant than bottle tops, say the plastic bottles themselves. I like the idea of making PVC piping or some type of piping that is durable. I know it's not as fun, or exciting, but I'm really a practical person. Or say windmill blades to use with water pumps, so other parts of the country, away from the river, or other countries abutting Gambia, so perhaps they can irrigate, & grow fruit and vegetables. Or what about wash basins? Every household needs to wash their clothes right? Or bathtubs? There's a lot more things you could make than beads. Or you could remake the fishing line they make the fishing nets out of? I know you were starting with a small scale, but the problem is so huge that a practical application seem to me to be of paramount importance. What did somebody say in the comments they need more porta potties? Well they do! I think they're injected molded... Of course then you need the trucks to drain the waist out of those, and take the feces someplace to be sterilized and put on crops... So it's just not the porta potties. There's a whole bunch of other stuff around the porta potties that has to happen. Sanitation is a really good thought.

When you say bricks, do you mean bricks to make a house? Because if you can build housses with your bricks, it could have a very big impact.

micro business make such a difference , in so many areas, there was a micro business loan from world bank ,years ago , it was a risky investment(in that you could loose your capital if they defrauded on the pay back ), that yielded a good return , these were used to buy equipment, like in this video , so that a person or cooperative, could help their community , it was for items like sewing machines, fruit press,, nut press, baler unit, so bulk items could be collected baled and shipped out economically ,grain milling mill, , i loved that investment , all thought they were considered high risk ,and were only between $500-2500 in size, with 6-18 month terms , i never had one not get paid in full , and loved the thought that i some how made a difference with my megar wealth , and yes i did profit, off my capital investments ,and so did the recipient of my investment, so it was a win win for both,but sadly they discontinued these investments after about 5 yrs most if not all recipients were africian women

Thank you

you should post links to where people can buy the same plastic extrusion and molding machines you have in this video.

I always love the sales you never know what your gonna find.

Brilliant video!

This is important but it is just a feel good story because if in enriched Western countries we are still building plastic factories then this solves nothing

hey i love this channel been thinking about how i can help the planet. what equipment or website could i go to for starting to make glasses like you guys from the plastic i get at the beach. I have a few charging me 10k for the mould and not the plastic injector. Hopefully you or the community can help thanks.

The beam machine looks really cool, how much is it?

Where can we buy the products they make? Is it on Amazon?

How can I find you guys I need this type of this machines but I'm in South Africa how can I contact you the novel about this machines

I think maybe if they had some kind of sanitary facilities there would be less trash in the rivers, which empty into the oceans.

Wouldn’t it be great ifthey could produce PVC pipe, and give the community a way to have running water to each home

Dang that's a lot of plastic

Please the machine for breaking the plastic to pieces how much does it cost

Сначало подумал ролик Варламова, судил по превьюшке

Were the locals trained or given reference documentation on how to repair or replace a part with a local equivalent if the equipment breaks down?

Say you want to recycle products made from recycled products (eg unsold earrings in your video). Say you were the buyer and didnt create the products in the first place, how can you tell what type of plastic it is and is it okay to turn it into a new product again?

👏

It was such a great experience to have Matt & Jonny, come out to help the project and film this video! I can tell you the fun and energy these guys share in the videos is equally matched in person! Looking forward to the next big project together! Who knows it might even be a viewer of this video! 🤞 Keep being inspirational and thanks again, Rory & Team

Pray, tell me- shouldn't these folks have a 3D printer?😅
