TURN PLASTIC RECYCLING INTO A HOUSE!
YES YOU CAN and IT WILL HAPPEN
On Tuesday Sept 3rd. Our featured presenter was Leyland Williams P.Eng. President of Plastisol Inc.
He provided a detailed presentation showing how his company is leading the way in such an enterprise. From the plastic junk that gets tossed into the Blue Bin and in many cases directly into the landfills he has developed a process that turns this into industrial strength plastic that can be extruded to create a series of forms to basically build a iKEA like package that is a house.
The intent of this project is to supply inexpensive but quality housing to people’s in the under developed countries of the world Africa, Asia and South America areas of major disasters and also provide decent housing in refugee camps which with the exception of those getting tents from Shelter Box and Disaster Aid live have the people living under a tarp or less.
Leyland indicated that they are in final stages of testing and the product should be in production later this year. He said this is one way he can give back to the community. Giving back is what Rotary does and with this in mind Leyland completed an application for Membership in our Club..
Here John Campbell Presents Leyland with a token of our appreciation for taking time to come and present his tremendous project.
