Welcome to everyone to watch this video. Share your opinion about this video in comments. I hope you will enjoy this recycling process of waste plastic bags.
Love the Part about Recycling !!! But i can See OSHA has been there to make sure they have a Safe place to work !!! Wow Propane Tanks, just standing free, Maybe some how they could Strap them to a Wall !!! WOW No Thanks !!!
Wow, maybe some day they will be able to buy even some used blow molding , extruding and injection molding machines and up there production a hundred fold while addressing more safety concerns.
@@sampowers9735 Jesus H Christ. The myopic idiocy of westerners is astounding. ‘Lota’ in the title loosely translates to water pot. It’s used for carrying water, like a large mug or jug.
@@akashramdial2240 oh...... I thought water pot but the base is so narrow it looks easily tipped over and that seemed impractical for a vessel that holds precious water in the desert
I know it's a safety and health nightmare but these people have the ability to make things from nothing and would probably be ok after the apocalypse 😄😄👍
The problem right now is the apocalyptic health hazards. I am worried about the long term health. However it takes a lot of time and wealth to change these things.
Personally I love to watch manufacturing videos from India. Things may not be 100% safe in their environment but what I like is that nobody told them they can’t do what they’re doing. And as long as they’re not harming anybody I don’t have an opinion other than good on you. Good on you guys for making a living out of recycling plastics. I don’t know if you pick up the plastics from the trash or if people sell you the plastic waste from their own businesses. Whatever the case the raw material seems to be cheap enough to be able to keep this business going for these people. That is the most important thing. These men have worked out and are working at a livelihood that is very important to them in the country that they live in. They live in a country where you just can’t get a job. these people have jobs. Can you imagine the families that they’re supporting by making the stuff. This is what economy is. This is what humans do. we survive.
This is not India but Pakistan. But still appreciate this hardy men risking their lives for their families. India is a step ahead and extrusion is done a little more sophisticated rest all is same.
Aside from the air quality problem in this workshop and the dubious handling of the raw material into the mangling section, the process is the same here in the UK for recycling of things like UPVC windows. Over here we would have better conditions and the equipment would have either electric heating or gas with better ventilation systems and the guys would be wearing ear protectors. All recycling is credit worthy. Ingenuity and sustainability is the key to us dealing with the global waste streams of "single use" plastics until we move to more organic and sustainable materials
You forgot to mention a major difference. Your end product is 5 to 10 times more expensive than what these people are making. Do you think these people don't want to use if they are given better conditions and the PPE equipment? Also this sustainable material thou talk about not that sustainable when cost is added to the picture. Here in NZ number of plastic recycling facilities got shut down, just after they run out of government funding.
@@navalfa7291 Plastics recycling is seldom cost effective. I work in the recycling sector better to reduce the use of plastic based packaging by using more sustainable materials until we can figure out a sustainable circular economy
Impressive and very hard working employees that probably work for next to nothing risking their health. I can't help thinking that the fumes from all that heated plastic is pretty toxic and needs extracting (and filtering).
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼………….. Honestly, as a guy who has ACTUALLY worked as an extrusion operator for a major carpet and industrial fiber supplier in the USA, this is very impressive. VERY dangerous, but impressive. Once you’ve had an extruder bridge, build pressure, and blow back on you, you respect hot polymer REAL fast! I’ve got scars to prove it!😉 And yes, I had on the proper PPE!
I was an extruder operator for 31 yes. I've had extruder's blow out at 12,000 PSI. I made flat sheet and roll stock. The person stuffing plastic stock down the throat has never seen what happens to body parts. We use to buy reclaimed stock (trimmings) from customers. Until they were caught selling more reclaimed than they purchased in a month! Some of the reclaimed stock wasn't the right color or type of plastic we were selling to them. The ribbon extrusion they show making “dice” is how we made most of our color concentrates. All in all extrusion with good equipment can be dangerous but this just waiting for someone to be killed.
Yeah hand stuffing bags into extruder throat not the North American way, I too operated an extruder working for DuPont Canada in their polymer division. Stuff sticks like glue on clothing. Transferred to their powerhouse, still hot but more monitor the operation.
These people can make any thing they want! Except for new lungs, eyes, skin, internal organs, fingers, toes hands, feet, and any other body parts for that matter. Still I’m awestruck by how much they create from so little. Heads off to you all!
That bottle was a PET soda bottle. It is incompatible with the low density HDPE materials they are using. They do not have the same melt temperature or properties. I suspect the bottle is actually a tool used to guide the strings of melted plastic under the roller when starting up the extruder.
Thank you for sharing this video. Years ago I was a Landfill operator. It was sad seeing how much recyclable waster went there. Wife and I recycle most of our household waste.
I don’t think you understand , how much of that “recycle waste” isn’t actually recyclable. And even the stuff that was, it would cost more to recycle it, and use more energy.
@@jamesbizs While recycling in some areas may be costly as you point out. There's more to recycling. Much of the waste I saw being crushed could have been used. We had a Railroad accident near here once. There were usable new products that we had to crush. Brand new Microwave Ovens. Furniture and more that could have been beneficial to some folks. But an officer from the R.R. Police watched as the stuff was crushed. I have seen people bring in usable lumber which could have been used in various projects. And yes, I do understand recycling. The logistics of transporting the waste and the cost of it makes it less attractive in some areas. But of course we can always use up more space in landfills with plastics, glass and other materials. Little our seas, rivers, country sides and communities with more trash.
But is something an employer would do if they don't value their employee's lives, and hiring new two-handed ones is cheaper than installing basic machinery guards and deep hoppers.
I've said it a hundred times. When we finally do get to colonizing the solar system it's people that can get things done like these people we need to send.
A lota is used to clean up the back end after you poop. You bend over a bit and pour water with one hand, you clean yourself with the other hand. Then you wash your hands! Learn more about other cultures, it's fun, and easy. Y'all cracking me up with the coffee pot comments.
i find it pretty odd that when it comes to pretty much any recycling etc, america says that its expensive and cost too much to do, yet india and that region dont seem to have a problem recycling things. they just seem to just figure it out and do it. america could learn a lot from india and the other areas doing the same. ive seen many videos on how the different countries handle things and america biggest problem is the citizens want to be paid more than necessary which then drives the cost of doing Anything up automatically.
Not all want to be paid that much in the US but politicians think they do. I have seen people enjoy running an ice cream stand for years, then get shut down for not paying minimum wage. Now they make $0, there is an abandoned property, and no ice cream stand for people to visit.
It's simple really. These guys are working for less money per day than the masks we in the West would have to be wearing would cost. Them: No boots. Us: Mandatory boots. And on it goes. The truth is, by the time you got this up to our Western "Standard" It would no longer be financially viable. Our standards are the reason why China can build an entire high speed railway network in a couple of years, but in my country it takes 6 years to build a new carpark at a railway station lol.
Having worked in the Plastics industry, Injection Moulding and Blow Moulding in the UK my blood runs cold just watching this but if this is all they have to work with then good luck and for God's sake stay safe.
Well, I do this on a very small scale so I was able to follow exactly what they were doing here. They either have a very efficient mould cooler or they cut the film while they waited for it to cool down before they trimmed it up barehanded. Very crude but also very effective. Their 'blow moulder' method is a hoot.
I’m impressed and grateful to see the forever plastic waste converted into anything useful. But the gas wasted as lost heat from the numerous open flames has me perplexed. They’ve cleverly figured out simple methods for all of the process steps but more of their biggest variable cost is heating the roof rather than the plastics.
In New Zealand, a University professor got Millions of dollar funding to turn waste plastic bags into finished product. And here we are these people making it practical without any glorification funding.
How can they get anything done with all of that safety equipment and guards to prevent fingers from getting caught in the machines? The safety signage is overwhelming, too.
Next time you hear someone slagging off unions, and strikes for better workers conditions...this is why unions were formed in the first place. And why bosses, owners and their tame media outlets, are so anti-unions.
I made such plastic recycling extruder plants, several years ago. Plant shown here is very badly maintained, but if maintained properly, it is very safe and generates good revenues. There's a lot of money to be made in recycling plastic.
One sad thing in this is all the yellow flames. They are wasting allot of fuel. If they simply built ventury carburetors they could burn far less fuel to heat the plastic.
My favorite video. Things I imagined could be done running quite well. Why the world has a waste plastic problem is due to lazy people. Great men working for their families.
For those that might be unfamiliar a Lota is a vessel w/a spout for cleaning your hind end... instead of toilet paper. ps. It's called Tabo in Tagalog.
just goes to prove you do not need multi million pound machines to recycle. yes they have no health and safety, they are low paid and yes it is a slow and monotonous job but at least it gives them a job and income. maybe the western world should return to labour intensive rather than machines
It looks as if the developed world will have to slowly, slowly retreat to use such primitive methods with the cost of energy and inflation spiralling upwards
What a hokey operation! Using fire flames to heat extruder barrel - no air ventilation system to pull away gases from hot melt exiting extruder - open gears on extruder gearbox! I've worked 25 years in plastics molding and recycling - this operation is dangerous.
Who ever is concerned about OSHA, they need to understand what these guys are doing here is a service to humanity, they are recycling plastic bags which usually ends up in a landfill, and they are not making teapots they are making lottas, perfectly good product that we can use in the bath room..
They don't need to be food grade, they're a Muslim purity requirement for washing "down there" after having "gone to the bathroom". A bit like a bidet.
That's why you are encouraged to wash any products you buy before using them. Clothing, utensils, dinnerware, even picnicware. And all the crap they're making here is once again disposable.
@@xaenon It's deeper than that; the plastic they use is NOT safe for liquids that have been heated at all. Do not use non-food safe plastics for food, washed or not.
@@stefnirk I'm pretty sure that the plastic bags they are made from are food safe - that is after all a very common use of such bags. Similar bags are sold in the West for cooking food in the microwave or boil-in-the-bag foods.
@@davemould4638 Boil-safe bags are made of different plastic blends and don't contain LDPE but LLDPE and have higher amounts of HDPE. It's not safe to melt plastic shopping bags, introduce thermal degradation and sell it as a food product. I would have my engineering licence stripped from me if I did it.
It's a difference in attitude. In the West, workers have the attitude, "My employer is responsible for keeping me safe, and if I get injured then it is my employer's fault." In the developing world the attitude is, "I am responsible for my own safety, and if I get injured then it is my fault." Pretty much anything that goes wrong in your life in the West is someone else's fault, and you are a victim. So no need to be careful - because that's someone else's responsibility.
@@davemould4638 with that i can agree. ( I am a Chef) and can walk into ANY kitchen or restaurant and find at least 10 violations, not only safety or sanitation or food safety, that would be sufficient to have the place at least closed down temporarily. and that includes any 7* place as well.
I looked with pleasure at the production of the product, but the production conditions are not very good, but it's better than doing nothing at all Thanks to the author
Yes you are right about the conditions it's very unfortunate factor in under developed countries mostly. But we are thankful that you appreciate their efforts
How many workers have lost fingers, feeding bags into that mechanism? However they say, Nescessity Is The Mother Of Invention. I think this vid alone is proof of that. The whole place looks like a right lash up, but it obviously offers employment to quite a few people.
There’s no PVC in this or any carcinogenic substance like phenolic that are used in dark or hard plastics. Neither is polystyrene is melted that white thermal throwaway cups n plates are made of. I’ve been to such plants but found no smell or fumes. Also the facility is open and ventilated not enclosed.

Wow, maybe some day they will be able to buy even some used blow molding , extruding and injection molding machines and up there production a hundred fold while addressing more safety concerns.
I wonder if any of that machinery is even patented?
When working with a hand mangling machine as shown in this video at 1:20,make sure you always put your hands as far into it as possible.
You only get your hand pulled into it once and your new nickname is Lefty....
lots of reaction time as long as you keep your hand at the start of auger hole not at the back. turns fairly slowly.
That's how they make the red ones.
There's even strings to help pull you in
That was the first thing that went through my mind when I saw that.
If an OSHA inspector walked in there he'd be in therapy for years following.
That was my first thought not OSHA approved then my second thought was what are you going to do with a plastic teapot?

What would even change lol

while we are stuck in green agenda's , cant take those serious after watching these video's
i love how the excess off-cut from the top becomes the base.
genius design
Very interesting. Rudimentary but effective results. I enjoyed this. Well done on the effort made to recycle !!
So much tallent when you're not worried about someone telling you not to do it. The automotive and mechanical skills in other videos are impressive

Besides all safety hazards, these guys actually do something against plastic waste.
Were i see waste they see raw materials.
I like how there's plastic garbage floating around in the extruded rope cooling tank (2:25), AND NO ONE CARES THAT IT'S THERE.
Green plastic bottle....I saw that! 😄
That bottle was a PET soda bottle. It is incompatible with the low density HDPE materials they are using. They do not have the same melt temperature or properties. I suspect the bottle is actually a tool used to guide the strings of melted plastic under the roller when starting up the extruder.
It's probably there for a reason
I thought that was funny too. It’s their pet fish.
It looks like they use plastic garbage but it seems they actually use new pellets to make all day these cheap coffeepots.
Somehow these videos make me feel good about our capacity to cope and adapt.
This must be the most developed factory in Pakistan!
WHY...IS THERE A BATHROOM NOW....?
I like the green bottle @ 3:37. It is supervising the process.

These are great safety videos. Basically everything you see in this video is something you should never do if you value your life.
unfortunately, over enthusiastic implementation of HS can lead to a false sense of security and a lack of alertness to danger

Did anyone else notice they’re all wearing new clothes instead of dirty torn rags? The boss must have splurged for this video.
😆👍
Unlike a lot of the other videos, the work is not very dirty, so they wear their normal clothes rather than the old work clothes you often see.
These guys have the most comfortable work clothes I’ve ever seen

They don't need to be food grade, they're a Muslim purity requirement for washing "down there" after having "gone to the bathroom". A bit like a bidet.
Those jugs are not for drinking water. They are for washing the anus after defaecating in the local way. Toilet paper is not used.
The guy loading the bags... How lucky is he not to have lost a hand... But I'm guessing the owner does not care too much about employees safety.
There are millions more to take their place
It's easy to solve just need to put a funnel and use anything else to push the plastic bags .

It's good that a waste product is used , but I would not want to drink from it
That's why you are encouraged to wash any products you buy before using them. Clothing, utensils, dinnerware, even picnicware. And all the crap they're making here is once again disposable.
@@xaenon It's deeper than that; the plastic they use is NOT safe for liquids that have been heated at all. Do not use non-food safe plastics for food, washed or not.
Isn't this pot for water to wash your butt?
@@stefnirk I'm pretty sure that the plastic bags they are made from are food safe - that is after all a very common use of such bags. Similar bags are sold in the West for cooking food in the microwave or boil-in-the-bag foods.
@@davemould4638 Boil-safe bags are made of different plastic blends and don't contain LDPE but LLDPE and have higher amounts of HDPE.
It's not safe to melt plastic shopping bags, introduce thermal degradation and sell it as a food product. I would have my engineering licence stripped from me if I did it.
Safety Inspectors get At Least a heart attack watching this video!😄
any NOSA Inspector would have a heart failure, seeing this factory...
It's a difference in attitude. In the West, workers have the attitude, "My employer is responsible for keeping me safe, and if I get injured then it is my employer's fault." In the developing world the attitude is, "I am responsible for my own safety, and if I get injured then it is my fault." Pretty much anything that goes wrong in your life in the West is someone else's fault, and you are a victim. So no need to be careful - because that's someone else's responsibility.
@@davemould4638 correct, AND mistakes happen always with others! - I - am perfect!
I wonder if videos like this are used in certification of Western inspectors: "List every violation you see is this video. Go."
@@PeterLawton I suppose a video taken in any Western pub could be shown to Iranian police for the same purpose.
@@davemould4638 with that i can agree. ( I am a Chef) and can walk into ANY kitchen or restaurant and find at least 10 violations, not only safety or sanitation or food safety, that would be sufficient to have the place at least closed down temporarily. and that includes any 7* place as well.
You do a beautiful job.
I'm surprised that all the Tree Huggers and Climate Changers aren't crying that it's not BPA free.
I looked with pleasure at the production of the product, but the production conditions are not very good, but it's better than doing nothing at all Thanks to the author
Yes you are right about the conditions it's very unfortunate factor in under developed countries mostly.
But we are thankful that you appreciate their efforts
Well done for recycling .
Very good project, very good profit
ouch!! Bare fingers inside a screw conveyor!!!...where's Osha when you need them.
That finger auger looks extra safe!
Thank you for video.
The world's largest 3D Printer!!!
How many workers have lost fingers, feeding bags into that mechanism? However they say, Nescessity Is The Mother Of Invention. I think this vid alone is proof of that. The whole place looks like a right lash up, but it obviously offers employment to quite a few people.
Great Job, Gentlemen!
Good for them!
Fumes are really dangerous. I feel sorry for those guys.
There’s no PVC in this or any carcinogenic substance like phenolic that are used in dark or hard plastics. Neither is polystyrene is melted that white thermal throwaway cups n plates are made of. I’ve been to such plants but found no smell or fumes. Also the facility is open and ventilated not enclosed.
Don't you see the airstream everywhere?
not that its a garbage dump falling apart amongst the other 5 million hazards and they cant spell. making this a terrible video.
Not sure what is going on... But between long shirts, naked flames, and spinning pulleys and augers, I switched off
They also have an arm mould to replace arms when needed.
