Single-use plastic gets a bad wrap in most parts of the world, but one innovator on the Pacific Island of Samoa sees value in it.
Samoan Entrepreneur Andrew Pedrana shares his ideas to change people’s mindset around plastic being a throw-away item, and to promote and raise awareness of the four R’s of plastic - reduce, reuse, recycle and recover.
And changing mindsets might be able to help clean up beaches and maybe, one day, the oceans, at least one plastic bottle at a time.
