YOU CAN ACTIVATE ALL YOUR CAMERAS

Guest (guest): Is it still blurry for you Didier or has it improved? Looks ok on my side but I can make a request to organizers if it isn't.

ha! sending recycling to the UK??? the UK is sending their plastics to Turkey, and I don't thing they recycle them here

all the plastic sent to the UK to be recycled will end up in Turkey flying back to the Mediterranean.

cigarette butts, recycled for what kind of materials?

isn't toxicity an issue?

yes, I am very curious about the cigarette butts. if we have to send them somewhere, how sustainable is that too?

Terracycle once had a program to recycle them into pallets

thanks, intereseting

We use a small company that makes them into kayaks 100%

oh, wow, the cigars into kayaks! that is great

No ocean plastics to kayak, cig to pallets

the pallets is a good change too, they are cutting all the trees in my area to make pallets

I can share the details of the French company that does the recycling.
