said a fact we feel up
writing board and I hope to hear that
but our project and was built at
5
so we could be present at 3
today could remain a
practical but the two people who
work with us its meaning with us
and realized that as much as we
project so here we thank them too
even this tax could be here tonight
so today we will talk about
plastic of a project a problem
global forgiveness recurring one hears
often in the media or even
done when we see a little bit what’s
goes into recycling and suddenly he
must know in fact I give you
some numbers
today in the world c 311
billion tons of plastic
produced by even so it’s a big
dog all that represents everything
plastic so this is the president
of an industrial that plastic
daily use and talks
with a more concrete example
will talk about plastic bags
the one we used when we were going
make a run and it’s still
today even though it was
prohibited
in europe outside France it’s still a thousand
billions of plastic bags produced
per year you should know that this bag
plastic that is light enough
and that can easily degrade with
the hand and ben though in nature
when it is thrown it lasts from 400 to
1000 years before being anchors
completely degraded and harmless
for the environment
so that’s a real problem and we
we wanted to focus on
a particular area that is affected
by plastic pollution so at this
observation we can also add that
every year in the world about 8
million tons of waste are
dumped into our oceans
there then I speak to you we can
not less than 2.9 billion
tons of waste in our waters
based on this observation since 1997
we even use the term 7th
continent to designate the immense mass
of plastic discovered in the
pacific along along america
about the same size
to six times that of France for you
add a little more data
according to a study done by the pm
they are about 40000 micro plastics
who are present all the miles
nautical ie about 30000
microplastics per square kilometer
in our room then yes it’s
a lot of numbers in very few
time but it brings back to loans to
concrete problems because we
believes that there are some micro
plastics on all the beaches of
world
so what is true for beaches
from latin america like brazil by
example is also true in Brittany
like on a beach like white mill
the line cia etc
if for example you thought was going
spend your holidays quietly in
mediterranean this summer let me
to announce that you will not be
only because according to a study
scientific conducted in 2010 there are
not less than 250 billion micro
plastic that float already one can
so say without much advance that
the ocean has become the largest
trash in the world
the challenge is really to stem the
proliferation of this waste both
that they are still on the mainland
so these numbers are very
interesting but actually we in
what can we do
finally at our scale what is this
what can we do
bring then we are neither researchers nor
professional in this field we are
student and we still launched
the challenge of doing something then
it is from this idea that queena
plastic liban our association which
the object is to promote
initiatives that aim to recycle the
plastic in an original way and to
revalorize plastic waste
so you may know that about
25% of the waste you throw
plastic waste that you throw at the
trash can
only 25% are actually
recycled the remaining 75% are
only burned then the idea is
to have the plastic one way
different
we did a lot of research and we
managed to find somewhere in
the world in this case in argentina
people who see the plastic
in a different way from which by
example our between our partner
main case in dallas bottle
to what means bottled house
and they’re actually building everything
simply houses based on
raw material of bottles
plastics
so the idea the business was born towards
the years late the late 90s
the beginnings of the 2000s
and it was because of the severe crisis
economic crisis that touched Argentina
that moment the creator of this
company sir alfredo alberto
santa cruz found himself unemployed
overnight and had to find a
means of meeting the needs of
family he is like he has like a lot
many others he went in the
street and he picked up trash he
sorted and resold to large firms
and that’s something that’s happening
even today even in argentina
it’s something common then
the main idea of construction
plastic houses came
when his granddaughter asked him
to buy him a doll house
obviously down he was jobless
they did not necessarily have the means
to offer it to him then he said to himself
why am I not going to build it there ay
laprise the raw material he
had on hand ie
waste and he built it a house
from
plastic bottles once the
result seen before his eyes he was
do not say why I would not do it
why I would not build her
houses on a human scale
so obviously it took a long time
of years and this business has been
created the idea the concept was
refined and in 2005 the company was
recognized municipal interest and
in Argentina and indeed from
shot from 2005 this business
has really developed and the
concept has improved through
volunteers and professionals who
have come to build with him actually
with sir santa cruz these houses and
so improve the process so there
you can see a house finally two
houses and so actually to give you
a bit of an idea about a square meter there
there are about 60 bottles
these bottles are arranged one
in others so the process is not
not secret but that even as
keep
by sir santa cruz it is he who has
invented this process is so 60
bottles that corresponds to $ 3 50 to
pretty much and so suddenly a house
whole have gradually to go
at 1300 1300 euros 1300 of the late coup
1400 dollars and suddenly it’s really
an end is affordable it is affordable
for people the populations who
live there and
we wanted to be able to
help at this level there and the
you also need to know that suddenly
sir santa cruz could thanks to this
method experienced he built with
the professionals who helped him more
70 houses
to this day these houses hold your
still awake
they have been there since then on some
the first for 20 years and therefore the
certainly end for example the roof
to yield because we have it we see that
plastic bottles but also
tetrapak cardboard what we use
for balls and milk bricks
or all of that and so really
all the supplies even the
supply of the house are built
plastic and so suddenly
currently sir santa cruz is
invited in seminars for
explain to talk about what he has
managed to achieve his business
and may even come
la France
dc for next year when
is important to specify also this is
that the sum of 1300 euros corresponds to
the value of the waste to be collected for
a building but it does not take
account the price of transport which
vary from country to country and this is
why sir santa cruz does
often called for donations because all
families wishing to help can not
not afford to miss either
collect waste is the sum
necessary for the purchase of this waste
so following the discovery of this
company we signed a contract
partnership dated February 21st
last and two goals have
cleared first we wish
finance by ourselves the construction
of an ecological house of the
casa das boot eyath to prove that
even from Brittany we can
act to change things
at the other end of the world in a
virtuous circle optics of
reuse of waste
secondly our association counts
go directly to america
Latin to shoot a photo report
and videos that we can show
then in Brittany in our turn we
We want to focus on
the impacts of pollution on
coasts can do a little bit of being
eco-friendly or dangers that may threaten the
Brittany but also on the real
recycling culture and starts to get
develop in Argentina through our
partnerships with cassadotte beauty
bundle we really have a place of
choice since we can show
inside how is a project
a humanitarian project
but we are not stopped there
since we especially want to put in
before the experience and the human touch
and that’s why we are too
went to meet the actors
local meetings pollution
plastic at first we
we had the chance to meet
the west factory association which has for
project to really democratize the
recycling of plastic waste
they are putting in place
to design and put in place
bourgs elsewhere that would allow any
person coming in from their premises with
our own plastic waste from them
transform into objects of all kinds
it can be tools of the objects of
deco and so much more so if tomorrow
you miss a bowl at home but
you have some plastic bottles
in a camp aubryste factory will be able
maybe you prove yourself
the solution in a second time we
met the start up
if the fab that really fits in
in press questions three current
since for a port city like
ours is true that the nets of
fishing is not what is missing
the problem though is their
recycling way so
smart and that’s the challenge that
has started in women since
harvesting fishing nets from
fishermen up to their
rehabilitation
among the weak fits in a
transition design approach in
offering objects made with these
raw materials like for example
coasters coasters
forgive shoes and soon
maybe some furniture still at the stadium
conceptualizations but we did not
not stopped there we do not just have to
to be at the meeting of
associations were Brest start-ups
we tried we were also at the
meeting Brest artists so it’s
at the level of the Capuchin plateau
behind the media library
there is a small street and there you can
we can not really miss the
little spark of joy that what this
small garden brings in the neighborhood
was meeting the gentleman who
who lives in this house who is he
apt to be very surprised
to see us and we asked him
how is the how he uses
in fact how they decorate his garden
so he told us they were using
construction pipes of bottles in
plastic it is also known for
his badoit tree he creates lighthouses
with his with construction pipes he
uses fangs from flower depots
so really it ‘s taught us there
showed us the reuse of the
plastic and the revaluation of the
plastic really at its true value
so of course while waiting for our
project is done we are not born
stay like that on the side in
waiting for money to fall from the sky
we have been applied for
projects are
we did not participate in the one of
agricultural credit of the people’s bank
from west to that of nescafé project
starter and also to that of nature léa
so maybe you’re wondering
and we in all of that agree and
then you can help us too
will launch in the coming days our
crowdfunding campaign and you will
follow everything that’s going on there
on social networks we are present
on facebook twitter and youtube and we’re going
post updates often for you
explain where we are our land to which
stage is our project and and you
can obviously participate in this
crowdfunding campaign made do
your party may have given a
small donation here is a small donation
thank you and suddenly we did not stop
there of course we told you everything to
the time we had two goals so
it was the construction of the house
who so with soon with the calls
for projects and everything here and there
the crowdfunding campaign and we have
also so this report
we’re going to go to argentina so
a photo and photo report
come back here make an exhibition
but that’s not all we want too
thanks to our contacts at
people we met here
locally and even further away
because in fact it’s initiatives
it’s all over the world
is awesome that’s really us
gives a little hope anyway on the
the future may seem a little black
sometimes we wished when
even at our scale the power to help
these people who are launching and so of
create a platform that listed
lists would curb directory of
all the people who have
launched on these areas there and so of
able to yield between the east
have information exchanged and
information and ourselves
then later also if the future this
is good for us to be able to help them
so really can thanks to
soups we will have recovered from
to be able to support these initiatives
go further and they can
then be able to
to be in the society actually be
involved in society and being
used this is not everything
more locally it’s not all about
a closer future
we look forward to the return
next to really get involved in
awareness raising projects in
primary schools of communes
surrounding
so I mostly think of moving towards
practical workshops that will
even go to the realization of
little plastic houses like you
see here at the image of that of what
makes our partner in Argentina from
the more we started taking
contact with the French Embassy in
Argentina to study the feasibility
a twinning between the city of brest and
puerto iguaçu then to finish
would first like to thank the
event organizers mr
thank mister champions who has us
guests tonight we would also like
thank our local partner
Finistère 2.9 who accompanied us
throughout our project and who we
helped to create a network and in the
communication through the networks
social
it seems so important obviously
of precise to thank the breakage to
dallas beauty weaves our partner
in Argentina that will help us to lead
this project to an end
and thank you for being here
evening thank you
[Applause]
