How a company is turning plastic waste to building materials in the Philippines
The Plastic Flamingo is a group of recyclers who are turning plastic items into building materials in the Philippines. The recyclers collect and shred packaging materials like food wrappers, bottles, and single-use sachets into waterproof planks called eco-lumber. The planks can be used to construct a wide variety of structures such as emergency shelters, fences, and decks. Learn more about the 100% upcycled building material that is rot and splinter-free.
