We use scientific knowledge and low-threshold/high-impact technologies to add value to resources that are commonly considered harmful or without worth, but are often the source of livelihood for society's poorest members. Our twin goals are to reduce the damaging environmental impact of non-recycled  waste products and to promote  and economic security for at-risk populations who depend upon waste to survive. We, ourselves, are not interested in profit, but are keen to disseminate a technology that upgrades waste plastic and natural fibers into composite materials for use in domestic products and building materials.","Page language":"en","Page license":"CC-BY-SA-3.0","Page title":"Waste for life","Page views":"160","Page year":"Friday, 01-Jan-10 00:00:00 UTC","Modification date":"Thursday, 27-Nov-25 20:54:23 UTC"}
