What if plastic pollution could be turned into fuel that could propel a rocket into orbit? This British start-up may have found a way.
Banda Aceh, Oct 18 (EFE/EPA).- An Indonesian man makes stools from used plastic bottles as part of environmental solution. Zainuddin is a teacher who starts using used bottles as materials for making stools and sofas, a side business he started during the COVID-19 pandemic. He developed the idea of making stools using used bottles as a form of environmental preservation and increasing the family's incomes during the economic recession caused by the pandemic.

Border guards patrolling the Kerch Strait picked up a man sailing a hand-made raft of plastic bottles on Wednesday and brought him into custody. Authorities noticed the man's ludicrous floating device while patrolling the water around a mile from the coastline. It turned out that the man, a 53-year-old native of Tashkent, was attempted to make the crossing from the Russian mainland to the Crimean peninsula via his rickety, hand-made contraption. Police gave the traveller a warning for violating the marine travel laws and sent him on his way.
'It's our dream to deploy these things around the world to clean up while we're asleep and hopefully make an impact on our environment.'
