00:00 What is being done in the country?
00:01 Recycling of plastic waste
00:03 is a project of a French environmentalist in Montinlupa.
00:07 Plastic can be processed to become furniture.
00:11 JT Soriano has the first news.
00:13 If the weather is bad, we often find out
00:20 how much garbage is thrown into our oceans.
00:25 But this happens all year round.
00:28 And sometimes, we are the number one in the world
00:31 as the source of plastic in the sea and in the world.
00:35 Most of it comes from rivers and estuaries.
00:41 There are also many reasons for the waste
00:43 in the drainage and irrigation.
00:45 But what if the non-rotting materials
00:48 can become furniture?
00:51 How?
00:52 The Plastic to Furniture Journey
00:55 starts at this recycling factory
00:58 of French environmentalist Francois Lesage.
01:02 Every day, thousands of plastic waste
01:04 are brought to this plant in Montinlupa.
01:06 These are recycled and later
01:09 made into furniture and garbage
01:11 that becomes furniture.
01:12 Let's go.
01:13 There is a machine here where the plastic is crushed
01:18 like bottles, toothpaste tubes, and tetra packs.
01:22 Once crushed, it is mixed in a special mixer
01:25 and then crushed to become eco-box and eco-lumbers
01:30 that become furniture.
01:33 At present, the company has more than 200 collection points
01:37 of plastic waste in Metro Manila
01:40 that is being helped by the French Embassy
01:42 to spread it throughout the country.
01:46 As we are working to set up a major plastic recycling factory
01:49 to scale up our impact and divert even more plastic waste
01:55 from its way to the ocean.
01:56 The French Embassy has also helped the DENR,
02:00 the Department of Environment and other programs
02:04 to protect the ocean.
02:06 We will be very honored to work with you
02:09 to do a new participation between the Philippines and France.
02:13 We wish for the informal sector to be included
02:17 in the solid waste management industry.
02:20 This is the first news.
