The classrooms made from 100% plastic waste
A community in Ivory Coast has partnered with Unicef to transform landfill waste into bricks for schools. The classrooms cost almost half the price to construct and can be built using just a hammer. Since 2018, plastic waste has been turned into 26 classrooms.
Filming for this video took place before the coronavirus pandemic.
