00:00Let's change the game and find out how plastic will transform to become plastic.
00:28For a more sustainable future.
00:30The concept of circular economy is slowly becoming known.
00:34In which the life cycle of materials and goods will be prolonged.
00:38So that the natural resources will not be depleted and the garbage will also be reduced.
00:42That's why these single-use plastics that take thousands of years to decompose,
00:48will be given a new life that we can use in our homes.
00:53From plastic, it will transform to eco-roofing tiles for roofing.
00:57Developed by an illegal-based startup led by Sir Keno Uy.
01:02The idea started because we have a lot of plastic in our area.
01:07While we are waiting for the solution to resolve our plastic problem,
01:12we looked for a technology that we can use to lessen and use the garbage.
01:18Eco-roofing tiles.
01:20Because it's light, but not like iron.
01:23These have insulation properties against heat.
01:26They started building eco-roofing tiles in 2019.
01:30And to make the process more sustainable.
01:32They do not dissolve single-use plastics to avoid pollution.
01:36To become roofing tiles, this ordinary plastic will go through a process.
01:42We will crush it to become pellet form plastic.
01:49After this, we will not dissolve it.
01:52Just like the usual process, we will put an eco-friendly adhesive.
01:58Then we will put it in a mold.
02:01After 6 hours, this is how it will look like.
02:06Plastic cement will be crushed to make it stronger and weatherproof.
02:10Their innovation is one of the startups that were granted by DOST
02:15to fight plastic pollution in the country.
02:17All of these are initiatives that can help reduce plastic
02:23or use plastic in other ways to avoid waste and pollution.
02:30So that we can have a job generation
02:34and also making sure that we protect our environment.
02:38By next year, Naser Keno's target is to try their product
02:42as materials for modular housing.
02:47Mga Kapuso, this is a big step towards sustainability.
02:51Aside from reducing plastic pollution,
02:54we can make materials that can benefit our countrymen.
02:59For GMA Integrated News, I am Martin Aviar.
03:02Changing the Game!
03:05Stones in the sky, hit it, it will not get angry.
03:08That type of stone can be used to clean air pollution from burning plastic.
03:15Let's change the game!
03:20Breathe in, breathe out.
03:23But what if VOC and other harmful gases add air around you?
03:29VOC? What's that?
03:31Volatile Organic Compounds or VOC is a type of gas emission
03:35that usually comes from plastic manufacturing plants.
03:38VOC releases short-term and long-term effects.
03:43They are usually very toxic and carcinogenic.
03:48Doc, the stones!
03:53What if there are stones like volcanic and sedimentary rocks
03:57that can be used to fight different types of pollutants?
04:02That's what's called an air saver.
04:04An air filter device that can absorb gas emissions
04:07from plastic and rubber manufacturing companies.
04:11Dr. Ramuel John Tamargo studied this under the Balik Scientist Program
04:16of the Department of Science and Technology.
04:19One of my expertise is nanotechnology.
04:22And one of the things we identified is to develop some nanoparticles
04:27that could remove some pollutants in our environment.
04:31I am holding a 3D-printed prototype of an air filter
04:36that can be used as an air saver.
04:39If you remove the cover, you can see that the air saver pellets are inside.
04:45On the side, there are slits to allow air to pass through.
04:53Doc Ram wants the air from the exhaust to go straight through here.
04:59It will go through here on the side.
05:01It will pass through these air saver pellets.
05:05That's why we have this.
05:07All the clean air will pass through the air saver pellets.
05:13It will go up here.
05:15And there will be no VOC.
05:17Now, Dr. Tamargo's team has conducted a series of lectures and presentations
05:21in Beneficiary City to help filter gas emissions
05:27in the industry of manufacturing in Lunsud.
05:30A possible solution to the worsening local air pollution.
05:34This is a game-changing air-saving invention
05:37that will not only help the manufacturing industry
05:40but also the community surrounding it.
05:43For GMA Integrated News, I am Martin Aviar.
