Ban the Plastic Bags Project

 San Carlos City eyes turning plastic waste into chairs   The city government here has assembled a machine that will turn plastic waste, such as candy wrappers, shampoo sachets, and junk food containers, into armchairs. “We know that candy wrappers, shampoo sachets and other plastic wastes take a hundred years to decompose, causing problems to our drainage systems, that is why we came up with this project in order to recycle these materials,” Mayor Joseres Resuello said in an interview. The equipment can make one plastic armchair out of every 24 kg. of soft plastic waste, hence, the city government partnered with the Department of Education to provide the plastic raw materials.Soft plastics are any plastic that can be easily broken or crushed by hands. The schools will have one armchair for every 30 kg. of plastic they provide. Of course, there are excesses to the required kilograms of plastic. These will be used to make more armchairs.
