- Scientist and NSW Australian of the Year Veena Sahajwalla is a recycling superstar with some bold new ideas about how to save waste from landfill. Subscribe: bit.ly/3l7kXcR
Inspired walking the streets of her Mumbai neighbourhood as a child, Veena observed almost everything was reused and "nothing was wasted".
This can-do attitude shaped her engineering career and sowed the seeds for some ground-breaking ideas, including making steel from car tyres. Now she's unveiling her latest invention, a "micro factory" that creates building materials and tiles from dumped clothes and glass.
It’s a revolutionary concept. But will it work outside the lab?

She needs to be earning the same money as the Kadashians, crazy how she's literally changing the world and hardly anyone knows her name. She is literally glowing from the inside out, so passionate and lovely to see!
When humans learn to honor people saving the world instead of people taking advantage of the world and the simpletons living here.
I agree.
I guess money does not replace satisfaction. She's truly happy doing what she does and may be more money would be a distraction....
She deserves a nopel price award, her name should be in the Guineas book of records among the most famous people in the world
Who made the Kardashians the gold standard?
Crazy how someone who has been changing the world for sooo long is not even that famous. She needs more recognition, so inspirational.
Yes Ethel, I was thinking the same thing. I want more awareness of the
awesome work women are doing. ((Definitely could relate when every time I see a Mylar lined bag I think there must be a use for it.)
I was thinking the same
because the industry doesn't want the question of "is there an alternative to what we are doing now? when the simple answer is "yes, there has been long before the switch to plastics" and a lot of people will go broke because the profits will be slimmer
AMEN! Far less attn politicians behaving like petulant 3rd graders engaged in a lunchroom food fight- FAR MORE answers to our actual problems.
@@HappyfoxBiz "Slimmer profits"?? So...are you suggesting they get by with ONE mansion? Less than A dozen estate staff? ONE airplane/jet? 🤔.
Just her passion and commitment is amazing and commendable. She’s supposed to a heroine to the youth instead of all these nonsensical influencers who add stress and chaos to the world. Thank you Veena and to your husband who has supported you. Thanks again
2 words wash hair 😂
@@dirkdiggler9379you have a serious problem 😢
@@dirkdiggler93792 words touch grass.
This woman is just beaming with positivity, what a blessing our country has in her!
she needs a Nobel prize!!
She's a blessing for earth!
This is more important than trying to live on Mars.....thank you for doing your best to keep the Earth livable
Barbara Lindhjem : agree with you 🤭😊 yeah! 👍 I think so, oops! 😊
In aust, we had the milk man. Picked up empty glass bottles, returned them full of milk. No plastic bottles! We used to use cloth nappies, which I still used when I had my kids. Hospitals even changed to throw away nappies by at least 1987. I was shocked. We used to take wicker baskets & buy loose veggies. No use of plastic bags or plastic tubs they put fruit in now. It's all about money & big corporations. None of those old ways needed to change nor would it be that hard to go back to!
Imagine letting Veena loose on the junkpile of failed SpaceX rockets. She'd probably build a new Space Shuttle.
I agree: if they had taken a small amount of the space money and turned it over to the recycling industry, it would work wonders. Before they aim for Mars, they need to manage the van Allen belts so they can land on the Moon. Why not use their sharp brains to help solve the problems here; the only planet made for human life?
We can do both
Veena, the world REALLY needs you right now. You are incredibly inspiring.
Schools should start teaching more if not teaching yet on caring for the planet earth
good job veena
i hope you will bring this machine to phillipines to help reduce waste our waste😍😍
@@domenicguimalan8058 Ur right kabayan!!! I wish the schools would teach and makes students join more environmental activities and groups.
@@phebienewman819 I absolutely agree! I was so disappointed when I worked in a child care facility a few years ago & the teachers weren't teaching the kids to recycle! I tried my best to recycle at work & teach the kids certain things don't go into the trash but the recycle bin. Some teachers really need to get with the program. I wouldn't call these people who don't teach about the importance of helping the planet "true" teachers. This world deserves people who truly care for the planet.
Veena has a genius mind and a big heart. She should be recognised as an Indian Australian hero. This video should be played in primary and high schools!
!!
Or a Nobel winner , for sure .
I so love this!! I was taught by my mother who lived through the Great Depression in the USA to re- use and re- invent so many things. It was a means to our survival and creativity . My heart is with Professor Veena!!! My great respect to her !!!!
So basically you lived in a hoarder house 😂
What an inspiring woman. I love listening to and learning from well spoken, intelligent people and she is certainly one of those.
If she visits India at least once a year she would have a very large carbon footprint. I lost respect for her.
Except the part where the mother says women should be at the top and should not be under any man. I say women should be at the top of their game but this talk of under any man when there are many men who are still themselves under other men is careless talk and wreaks of ego. Women and men should cooperate not compete ffs
@@marcelomay4561 what an idiotic response. She offsets the worlds carbon footprint with every innovation she invents you numb nuts ... she deserves her trip alone by her life’s work many times over ... good lord man - give yourself an uppercut.
@@marcelomay4561 are you nuts? What contribution have you yourself made to humanity? I have not seen your name anywhere as having helped save humanity but you have the audacity to criticise her huge efforts for all of us.... What a cheek
@@nyakwarObat you seem scared of the competition
A true hero to our world. This is the type of person that needs to be brought to the forefront and praised. Great work!!
Absolutely right!!!!
Someone should make a video about her....
@@Mell0wY3ll0w They just did. It's on CZcams and you just watched it.
@@davidd.c.9344 😂 😆 😛
Greta thunberg eat your heart out, emulate this wonderful lady and stop preaching, your backed by the people encouraging the waste and pollution.
She’s been innovating plastic waste for over 2 decades! Why have we not heard of her? Why isn’t her name recognized in the recycling industry worldwide?! All the orgs that are into the green revolution, should be pushing her ideas & inventions, so that her name & ideas become known in every household!✌🏽✊🏽
I love that she said she see's potentials. That really is the first step in transformation. She is really inspiring and innovative, exactly what the world needs.
What can be said about this woman and of course her team? She should win the Noble Peace Prize. She is a modern day hero.
I agree. She is a gem. Australia is so lucky.
definitely yes to that idea. nominate her
Sorry the peace prize only goes to people like Yasser Arafat and Obama after a month in office.
@@robertwoodpa6463 - Lol
nobel peace price is a joke !
This woman alone brings so much hope into the world.
I hope she gets more influence over the coming years.
Her work is absolutely 💯 amazing 🥰 You can see that she has a lot of passion for what she does. We definitely need this all over the world. So much waste is in the streets, roadsides, parks and beaches.
Yeah, people in general are disgusting slobs with little regard for their personal impact on their environment - people like her restore a little of my faith in humanity.
We need to clone this woman & send her everywhere around the world!!!! She's an inspiration....a miracle worker . Thanks
People like this woman give me such hope for this planet. Thank you
Seeing smart people solving the problems like too much waste, gives me hope for my grand children's future.
Hi how are you doing?
Wow. She's not only very intelligent and very well educated, she has the imagination and the ability to see beyond the surface of items to their constituent parts. I've never even thought, for more than a few seconds, about the shiny lining of snack bags. I wish her continued success, and that her inventions and innovations spread worldwide.
Thank you for informing us of this person, her achievements, and her aspirations for the future.
This is so amazing and inspiring. I love how ABC even went far as to showing her family background. I love how her mother supported her to be curious and do amazing things that help people. I hope that the Australian government would support her so that Australia can stop shipping their waste to other countries that are poor...
This lady marches to her own drummer . from walking around at the dump in high heels to changing the world , what a gal! 😎👍
Yes, I noticed the high heels immediately and was impressed.
That's a horrible idea. Walking on hard, level ground is bad enough but walking in a dump in heels can be dangerous. You don't want to be falling and hurting yourself in a place that filthy.
Let's venerate caring more about safety and practicality over looks.
@@nightmarefanatic1819 think she wears heels as shes very short,maybe it makes her feel better and saves hurting her neck,think shes fantastic pity there is'nt more people like this in the world
I'm so glad I clicked on this video. Otherwise, I would never have known such developments were occurring in the world. This is so very encouraging. I agree with others who suggest that this content should be integrated into school curricula in order to inspire future scientists.
Another SCAM. This is not recycling, it is downcycling. Recycling means to turn a bottle into another bottle, preventing it from going to a landfill. This is combining to make a product that for sure goes into a landfill once it is used. It no longer can be recycled. I hate when people pull wool over our eyes. This is NOT science.
@@GEOsustainable So what ? It's still fantastic whatever name it goes by.
@@GEOsustainable Point taken but the new product will be in use longer that a bag o chips ( fries) So you need to come up with a new name ( wastecycling)
Why so angry @GEO sustainable ?
@@GEOsustainable This is taking from the landfill to put back to use which lowers the demand for new products and resource extraction. This isn't a scam it works and you saw it work, change your username you fraud.
@@GEOsustainable Bit harsh me old cock. The point I took from this excellent vid was that products with a life span of possibly weeks to years are being turned into products with a life span of decades. Bit of a win there. Full marks to Veena and her team. More power to her.
Wow Veena had me transfixed from beginning to end. She is absolutely amazing and before watching this video I had never heard of her. She really needs more recognition and applause for her amazing work. 👍
This womans idea's need to be shouted all across the world!
She is a genius!
She’s a smart woman and passionate about the environment. We need more people like her.
I think you should say we need to be more like her not more people like her
No, we don't !
@@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527 lmao tf
We don't need a people like her.... We need to be like her!
She is Indian origin
I grew up in Brazil and people there repair almost everything because it is cheaper than buying a new one .I love recycling .Well done to that lady .
Business opportunity to come to the US and do the same
It was the same in India as well . But unfortunately things are changing here with growing middle class. Slowly the repairing/reusing culture is disappearing.
Capability + passion + ambition + positivity = innovation; I am very happy that I saw this video...inspirational too...Veena, you make us Indians proud!
She and the others that do this most important work and research are just so fantastic . I thank her in behalf of my 6 and 9 year old grandchildren . This work helps to insure that our future generation of children have a safe planet in which to live on . Bravo to a very wonderful and courageous women .
Look at the sparkle and determination in her eyes when she speaks about her work
I noticed. Enthusiasm is hard to miss. If I ever get to teach engineering again, I want to bring that sparkle with me.
Yeah... Mashallah
She's too intelligent and a strong woman who's eager to do something just to make everything valuable when it comes to waste...this is really inspiring to everybody how to value everything around us,good job Engr.Veena,ur such an inspiration ..
She is "too intelligent" that is a bizarre thing to say.....
She has saved millions of tires from going into landfills. Saint her.❤️🔥
She is not just an entrepreneur she also gives opportunities to people who tries to recycle waste like Andrew. She is such an inspiring but so humble person. She is the term “think outside the box”.
This is brilliant, and what makes it even more commendable is the fact that she is NOT taking this process and keeping it only for herself. Rather, she is making it possible so that anyone (with half a 1M$- hope the price tag can be lowered) can do this and take care locally of waste while producing something of value. I'm in love with her brilliance and passion. Make her famous!

@@GEOsustainable, BUT by the time this new material is ready for waste there will most likely be another process to turn it into other products or even to reinsert it into the manufacturing process. Even if it doesn't, look at the massively smaller footprint the new material makes as compared to the tons of materials it came from. Stop thinking so nearsightedly.
Walking like a boss in high heels on the landfill of waste. Slay girl. 🔥

I would have been in boots, myself. Stuff heels - who told her that was ok?! That's just... I don't know, such an industrial engineer, overly self-conscious kind of thing to do when knowing when you are on camera. And I bet she normally would have worn something you could scrape the junk off of at the end of the day.
@@sealyoness you do you
That’s amazing. We were discussing in class about the second hand cloth dumping issue in some countries. Yes, it’s time for material revolution. 👍
20:00 This is amazing! Look at the tile on the apartment walls, the floor & the art on the living room wall! Fantastic!✌🏽✊🏽
My wife and I collected 12000 cans and plastic bottles last year and about 10000 the year before. We are into our 3 year and are on track for about the same amount. We will continue every year to do our little bit. Imagine if every household even did half that, what a difference we could all make. This beautiful women has turned this around to be able to use what we gather. It's phenomenal and pure pleasure to be a tiny part of her gigantic revolution.
WOW. do you supplement your income this way?
@@lynb2039 we both work. I guess this looks after our Rego on our polluting vehicals lol, it depends how you look at it. It's not really the money, it's reducing the impact to the environment and it's not too difficult to collect them. Win win I say.
We have to attack the 'throwaway Culture' of Waste, learn to NOT use oil for single-sue plastics, design materials for the Future Use, End-of-Life and a Circular Economy.
ALSO- The manufacturers have to be HELD ACCOUNTABLE for CLEANUP, and making Better materials that recycle or compost.
What for or to clear the dirt?
Hi Anthony, I am very inspired by your actions to contribute your parts to save the planet. This is something I would be interested in doing too. I wonder how you deal with these bottles after you have collected them? What’s the process? Thank you!
Meanwhile, American TV news shows are worried about Dr. Seuss being 'cancelled' and what Trump's going to do next. WE NEED more shows like this in the US to show people what's possible instead of just idiotic infighting.
That's the differences between people's interests! Not everyone can have the same interest as you... Thats why people needs eachother
@@allahissatanmuhammadwaspos1493 Maybe more people should shift their interests to this kind of work then
@@ShawnaCosmica are you stupid or dumb?? Every human in the society contribute their services in other way!
All humans depends on eachother directly or indirectly.. Also, there are enough people in this world who are learning engineers, just in india there are millions of students who are learning it too.. And also all for other importants feilds! Also if we all become inventors, who will grow crops for us? Who will teach your children education?, who will be your country fighter, who will help you transport?, who will build you a place to stay? Who will nurse old and sick ones? Who will sells things that you need? And so on with all your needs..
There's a reason why all humans have different interest or else create fake humans called robots to give instructions to perform certain things...
@@allahissatanmuhammadwaspos1493 you have completely missed the point.
@@ShawnaCosmica I agree -- I think if it was show-cased, more people would become interested.
Veena deserves much more recognition. A mastermind and inspiration to future generations on waste management
Excellent program. I'm better educated now. Thank you for your hard work and willingness not to give up. You're thinking🤔 outside the box and making beautiful things, tables, stools, chairs, building materials from waste.
With all the waste we produce , if it could be converted, a lot of ppl would no longer need to be homeless. Great job team👷♀️👏🏻👏🏾👏🏼👏🏿😀😁
Was I the only one who had tears when the first tile showed up at Andrew's micro-factory? People like Veena are synonyms for a true visionary. Great story telling from ABC too.
Tears of happiness flow down my face, she's truly inspirational!
Why? They made a million dollar robot armed machine to make $3 tiles from waste products. I could do that with a paper shredder and a toaster oven, $ 90 , including lunch.
@@undernetjack, obviously you have no ability to think long term. The initial investment might look big but over the life of the machine it will pay for itself many times over and the environment is the winner. With your way of thinking, WHY do you spend thousands of dollars on a car or truck when you could do the same thing with a bicycle?
@@richardcline1337 Your argument is flawed, and your example isn't even close to being a parallel of the situation. It's more like inventing a million-dollar water purification system. Even if they mass produced these and got the cost down to $10000, it would still take 20 years to pay for itself. This whole method is ridiculously over-engineered - instead - just look at the other recycling videos of people using old plastic to make roofing/flooring tiles, even automating their process would only cost a few thousand dollars and reduce waste by a significant, measurable amount. This video is a caricature of what they should really be doing. A million dollars wasted.
@@undernetjack You are a real bundle of joy and optimism. People like you are everywhere, where they always want to destroy or critise somebody's achievement. It is usually jealousy or low self image. If your process is so brilliant, why have we not heard about you??? 🙄
Her passion about recycling is so infectious...glad to see these revolutionaries...she is so excited as she speaks! Truly inspiring
What an inspiring woman. She’s solving world problems and really enjoying herself. Full of Compassion and Passion. Thank you for your efforts!
She is a REAL influencer and she's doing an absolutely amazing job👏 I felt so motivated after watching this😭
This lady LITTER-ally is the Queen of Green! I am so super excited that finally someone has decided to think outside the box to resolve our waste problem and turn it into something manageable and useful. We all owe her a big huge thank you! 👏😃👍
She needs to be put into Science books! This is such valuable information! It can inspire so many kids and bring more creativity to innovate for a better world! She also had such an amazing mom helping her to think and inspire her to do so much in her life!
Amen! Maybe in 10 years, unless there's another crackdown on science. She is virtually turning lead into gold. What a chemist! Incroyable!
We need a lot of people like her. A very inspiring and motivating video. ❣
❤️❤️❤️ this made me incredibly proud. What a gem 💎 she's a powerhouse in the best possible way. Her Quirks are what make her so special.
As a graduating chemical engineering student, I've been looking for a figure who is prominent in waste upcycling/recycling/management whom I can look up to. I think I just found her. :D
This makes me so incredibly happy, thank you for sharing!! Best of luck on your journey ❤
Don't waste your time. If you think you can contribute to her journey and the health of the this environment, then go for it. Contact her. Start something. May mother nature bless you both with incredible success.
Happy for you. Best of luck!!🌿
I wish I heard Veena's story 8 years ago as I was graduating high school. I would love to do her job or something similar, what an incredible gift she's sharing. Thank you for valiant efforts to save our planet ❤
It's NOT TOO late to find your passion! Think! What would you do, if you could? Whatever it is, GO for it! If it makes you feel energized, DO it! I did.
You still can do it as she did. Just on to a bike and start riding!
She's not doing a "job" she created her "job" make it up as you go.
Not really saving planet... More like her country. War makes this non important. Ask Putin. How he helps the planet.
What’s stopping you from pursuing this kind of work now?
She gives our planet so much hope! This is the kind of person who deserves to be recognised. Great job!
Fascinating that your good foundation at home, your keen observation of how folks lived in Bombay and your excellent education in Canada were the right combination enabled you to put into practice your talent.
She’s such asset to the environment and humanity. Her vision is amazing
The world needs a million or more Veena’s to solve the problems that we create.
How can you be like her?
Yes we do. We are all capable
We just need you to help at home ( not buying things that you do not need) simple.
How to be like her ?
@@MauricioGomez-kl5lb we? you think you do as much as she? lol
Thank you for producing this program about Veena. She is giving me hope that in the midst of our garbage, she has found diamonds for our collective restoration. Thank you, Veena.
She deserves support from around the world. She is genius 👏 its so inspiring to see her work just amazing
"She will not stop talking about science and ideas"
That's amazing, in my perspective.
It is all about changing your small, everyday habits: it took me 3 yrs to zero my food waste, I have boxes w lids by the stove to store food in, thus zeroing my use of plastic film. Our compost is turned into biogas, I don't buy bottled water, I measure my detergent with a tablespoon, careful not to overdose it, hardly use fabric softener but wool dryer balls. It takes some thinking to find out a new way to do things: Now I sew grocery bags using my coffee wrappers for me and everybody who wants; reuse before recycling. Last year I saved 190 kg of food (late date) , thus saving 650 000 liters of water. Imagine how far that will go in my drip irrigated garden! LED-lamps of course. I don't live differently, only better. It well worth the extra thinking to get the foot off the planet's gas pedal. Had we slowed down our habits only 3 % every year 30 yrs ago, we would have seen the same results as the climate improvement during the Corona lockdown.
Woe u should write a digital book an teach others 👏
@@patremagilbert8787 Hi Patrema,
I am going to do just that: I have lived by this system 30 yrs, it's time to teach others how to do it. It has saved me a lot of money over the years and what is good for the wallet is also good for the environment. Since I understood the food/water/pollution key it's even more interesting. I call it "Backwards Economy" since I usually think backwards to find a solution. What you do with the $$ you save is up to you; the plus is that the environment also gets a helping hand. So keep your eyes open for "Backwards Economy" :). Best regards, Anna-Lena
That’s awesome 👏🏾
I would love to learn !!!!
Good for you Anna-Lena. I can relate because I do a lot of the same things that you do. I love using glass jars instead of plastic bags. I have 2 buckets in my utility sink for capturing water for my garden. We are making a difference because we care.
So pleased to see this inspiring woman, taking the bull by the horns, rather than sitting back and moaning about waste problems, got stuck in and is sorting out the solutions needed to redress the balance, preventing anything unnescessarily going into land fill, which may take thousands of years to break down and does untold damage to the environment. This woman doesn't need to be nationalised, she should be Globalised.
There is an idiom here in India that translates as "Only in mud does the lotus bloom". She is the embodiment of it, shining brilliantly among all the garbage.
I saw the huge amount of clothing waste on the ABC documentary The War on Waste. I'm glad someone is trying to do something about it. But we all have a responsibility to reduce waste. I recycle everything I can & compost food & garden scraps. I try not to send anything to land fill. It has to be a last resort not first thought. 🤔👍
I do the same. I also take wet garbage from my building and compost.

Forget Nye. No comparison to the real innovative thinkers like Veena Sahajwalla. But, yes, it is people like Veena that change the world and inspire others to join them.
I'm so thankful for people like Veena. Excellent journalism too. What a worthy thing to bring awareness to.
A materials revolution...the world needs this!!!!
Holy MOJ. This lady is so inspiring and a source of hope and light. These are the people who should be glorified and interviewed.
She's so kind polite and has a great personality always smiling.
We need more brilliant minds like hers.what an amazing lady.
I’m chocked! Watching the resources wasted in Australia is mind boggling, disappointing and scary. Living in Denmark, landfills has been shut down for decades, everything is reusable…
Respect for Vena 👍
She’s so inspirational ♥️... She is originally from India but Australia benefits her talent
@Naples Kaching i agree with you
Brain drain. The reason behind why 3rd world going stay as 3rd world, benifites of develop nation.
she is a daughter of a educated mother and talented girl its good to know her name.
If she could go to her home country..India has a lot of waste material that she can make more ...
Yuck, works for a foreign country despite her country being a trashbin
@@AS-ug2vq I don't think it said anywhere that she is averse to doing this in India. But she did say political and legislatural will is necessary.
I am an Indian so I know that no matter how scientific one is, you don't easily get political go-ahead here. Unless it improves the ruling party's image. But the ruling party also has its preference for certain businessmen (because they fund the party). It doesn't give contracts easily to others (so that others' clout doesn't grow or upset the plans of their preferred businessmen).
Worldwide we already have the technology to live better, wayyy better. But politicians make it difficult for good ideas to go ahead because it is always their agenda first.
I love Veena and her energy and ideas. We need more people like her in this country.I would like to see Professor Veena Sahajwalla for Australian of the Year.

"Do what you love but do it at your very best, and be your best." Amazing lady.
What this woman has done is absolutely BRILLIANT! She uses her intelligence and passion in innovative ways that helps the environment. Governments, companies and people should be standing in line to work with her. We need to celebrate and support such heroes.
What an absolute amazing lady. I watch a lot of stuff being fixed / recycled in India that here in Britain would be throwen out as beyond repair. I find it facinating. the same was said when I had the priviledge of living in Singapore in the 60's. They fixed it, not throw it away and get a new one. This lady is using old methods to do newage things. Good on you
She is outstanding, passionate, hard working and super smart! You go queen!❤
Unlike many of us, she saw opportunities not problems.
So true!!!
She’s really revolutionary, that’s the type that world needs more and more !
We need everyone thhink about the environment including you and me
Micro factory is a brilliant idea
Most effective way of spreading the good work around the world
What a wonderful woman. Thank you for helping save our beautiful planet ❤️
This kind of talented people is what we need to save this world.They are the future saviour.🙌🏻Thank you for your hard work.You’ll inspire us.I wish your work to be successful.
You are a gift to humanity.
We need this type of recycling and micro factory in NIGERIA. Please help us . We've been looking for ways to reduce the waste here .
Great 👍, very happy Veena is doing this , need to have recycled everything
Thank YOU so much for sharing this video! It's provided some very valuable information for me to follow up on and is so inspiring what's happening with waste innovation and circularity !
As customers, Ask for items that come from recycled materials. That is the key.
Demand always drives production. Lets do this.
Fantastic. Fantabulous
So inspiring and so humble
Our Planet needs you Veena and the likes of you. Keep it up. God Bless You Abundantly Always
Her work and innovation are needed not just in Australia but all over the world. We can go zero waste economy if we only chose to.
I wish I could like this video a million times. I really love Veena's mind.
Great Initiative, India needs something like this.
This is so interesting. SHE is so interesting. I’d love for something like this to come to the US. We need to spread the word about this woman and everything she’s doing for the world.
I've not met many industrial engineers, but all engineers live to solve problems. The light in her eyes reminds me of how I felt going into mech engineering after graduation.
I would love to invite her to Las Vegas to help with housing for people who can't afford 300.00 to 400.00 Housing
What a fantastic lady - I was just smiling from start to finish watching her story - so inspiring. The world needs more people like her.
These geniuses saving earth turning waste into products are true angels to the earth much respect and honor to these angels
Love ❤️ this. This should be world 🌎 wide to create products like this 👏👏👏
I clicked on this video by chance. It's amazing. My question is, why haven't more people heard about Veena and the work she is doing.
5 years ago I stayed at a hotel and noticed everything in my room was made from recycled materials. The wall coverings were gorgeous and the glass covering on the desk had bits and pieces of different colored materials laminated inside. It was beautiful!
Where is the hotel? Is it a chain?
@@grannylearns9156 It was "Home2 Suites by Hilton" The one I stayed in was in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, USA.
That will be the future going forward. We can't afford to just dig up and hoping to last forever.
We need construction companies and seller like Bunning come on board pushing recyling product.
Someone that should be recognised for Australian of the year!
Fantastic!!! I'm so Very excited to see what is to come!! Zero waste? An Absolute necessity. Can't wait to see her new technology implemented world wide!
It is such an engrossing and inspiring story of a determined lady. Of course, we need more people like Veena to solve the problem of our earth but she encourages us to think big and bold.
I think we need to have centres in all states in Australia to tell us what can be done of these products. I think keeping workshops would be a great idea.
What a lady. God bless her and her family. 🙏
