GREEN PLASTIC

Plastic waste is today's biggest waste management problem for every country. Plastic is a human need and without it, sudden change can create havoc. It is the most top material of our daily life due to its versatility and cheapness. But the problem with this amazing product is that it has a very long life an estimated 500 years for plastic to decompose. so its waste management is the problem as more than half of the plastic becomes dump in dump yards and is not recycled so creating serious environmental problems for the world and destroying the natural ecosystem.

Here are some amazing entrepreneurship ideas for converting this plastic waste in to useful products and solving the problem having as much potential to even changing the banning plastic perception into green plastic perception

BIODIESEL

Nowadays the scientist has discovered a way when plastic waste is heated in a special chamber the diesel can be made. This diesel is eco friendly and has less carbon footprints and it emit no smoke like petrol. So this diesel is used for cooking in areas where the natural gas facility is not available hence creating double green impact the waste is eliminated and no need for burning wood

PLASTIC BRICKS

There are a lot of people in Columbia, KEYNYA, Netherlands, Thailand using the simple techniques converting all type of plastic waste into using full products like in the Netherlands the company introduced the Lego shape brick made up of recycling plastic in a specific composition and using the bricks and beams of plastic in building cheap houses. These bricks have a lot of advantages over the traditional ones as in this bricks there is no seepage problem, better temperature control, easy to build even a layman can build a house on its own if needed no mortar need, low cost and time-saving.

Likewise in The Philippines, the company is using the agilator with the composition of 50% used cooking oil,40% HDPE granules, and 10 % Styrofoam and making the road traffic cones, pathways tough tile, roof tiles, and bricks, that are stronger, lighter, and high resistance against temperature than the traditional tiles.

In Kenya they are using refined sand and melted plastic and making roof tiles that have a life of about 25 years approx.

·         Above all discussed ideas using the same technology the street light poles, boundary wall planks and columns can be produced

·         Using the recycled waste granules the road manufacturing companies in some countries are using them with bitumen and the road made up of these materials is  waterproof so do not break and have a long life

·         In third world countries the people use the steel sheet as a roof in these countries the roof sheet made up of this recycled material can be used
