Converting Plastic Into Purpose in The War On Plastic Waste

By Rhea Mursalin

The War On Plastic Waste, by Hunter Harrell, is a short film in Planet Classroom’s Problem Solver series supporting ByFusion’s Micro Diversion Platform. ByFusion’s innovative solution converts plastic waste into Byblock, an adaptable building material, addressing ocean plastic pollution.

The 1 to 1 plastic to brick conversion project has conquerable challenges, thereby establishing itself in the film as a doable practice that should be supported alongside ByFusion.

Harrell utilizes a mix of slideshows, captions and a voice over to highlight this project, ensuring the information is given in a clear and concise way. As the contents of this film are very foundational and center on one company, an in-depth research analysis is not to be expected. 

I would give this film 4 out of 5 stars.
