We periodically receive reports from our Shark Pond grant recipient Emmanuel who is growing his recycling business. Emmanuel pays his "agents" a fee per pound for the recycled plastic bottles they collect. Here's his problem, searching for a solution: When it rains the bottles are wet, some even get water inside. Now those bottles weigh more, which costs Emmanuel money! Here's a photo of the workers loading plastic bottles onto Emmanuel's new Trike truck. Emmanuel also reports that the plastic flaker he's been working on is about to be installed. He'll be able to "flake" all that plastic he collects.
