'Shruder' could solve waste problems in Vanuatu rural areas

The chief executive of Plastic Collective, Louise Hardman, has created the 'shruder' which shreds and extrudes plastic waste into instant new products.

These can include such items as grass cutting or weaving cord and cutlery.

Ms Hardman said the machine could cope with the daily plastic waste typically generated by several thousand people.

She said it was about educating communities and giving value to plastic waste because 80 percent of it can be reused.
