This project looks into practical solutions for reducing, reusing, or recycling plastic waste. This project is based on a study from a community in rural India, where paper and cardboard waste decomposes quickly due to the wet climate, but plastic waste is more of a problem. The waste most commonly found is plastic packaging from snacks, cookies, or biscuits. An optimal solution would have benefits beyond just cleanliness of the village. The solution must be low-cost, sustainable and utilise locally available materials and skills. This project is instigated from a study of Pabal, a small village in India, and extensive information is available.
