Capacity, capacity, capacity - the three most important factors to keep any waste management operation financially sustainable.
Our current collection vehicle is a lovely three-wheeler with fun cartoons on it. But as lovely and fun looking it is as much of a strain it is to operate it profitable.
The calculation is easy - At maximum capacity the value of the plastic waste transported must be more than the cost of operation. Sadly, prices of waste plastic are still too low in Sri Lanka to make that calculation work. At the moment it only makes sense for us to run the vehicle because we can recycle some of the plastic waste in house and generate more value per weight.
We do have buyers for all types of plastics, even nylon waste fishing gear but to collect waste material in bulk our payload must increase.
The next larger vehicle that would secure the profitability of our operation would be a single cab Bolero pick up and has a price of approximately $15,000 USD and part of the financing will come from the sale of our current three-wheeler.
Furthermore, a larger vehicle will not only secure the workplaces of our staff members but also create new workplaces in sorting and processing. Considering Sri Lanka’s economic situation, we believe it is very important to provide more work in the country and avoid Sri Lankans going abroad for work, leaving their family behind.
So, in the end it is not only about capacity but also our staff, staff, staff. If we want to retain dignified jobs in waste management in Sri Lanka, we need to keep staff from leaving the country. Capacity = retained staff = good work that keeps the environment clean and increases recycling rates of all plastics.

The MOF seeks to educate the community about ecological threats to our precious marine environment and the ways in which we all can better protect these environments.
Vintz Plastics LTD & Rintz Industries will team up with the Alliance Française* to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable ocean management and the dangers of plastic pollution to the local community.
During this week, we will participating of dfferent educational activities:
- Environmental awareness workshops in public schools in Mombasa
- Scientific day on the theme of Marine Aquaculture
- School visits at Kmfri (Children meets scientists)
-The Festival comes to Mburukenge (Tudor) – Community clean up, exhibition, open air screening
- Plastic art School Challenge with 15 schools (private and public)
- Visual Art Exhibition – recycled art
- Ocean Art Day on Saturday 10th of June (art activities for kids/parents)
Vintz & Rintz will be part of the: PLASTIC ART SCHOOL CHALLENGE
The aim will be to inspire innovation and educate students in participating schools on plastic pollution. Teachers from participating schools will be invited for a training session on plastic recycling and encouraged to share their knowledge with the students.
Rintz will be bring its technical support by donating box of recycled materials of different colours and shapes, which the group will use, to create a sculpture, collage etc… on the theme of “Ocean” and intervene in the workshops in the different schools in which the students will be taken through a workshop to create functional items (pencil holders, flower pots, packs) through single use plastics (bottle tops, plastic straws...). The workshops will also include a collective work of art made by the students using plastics, which will be displayed in the schools to commemorate the event.
SCIENCE TALKS: MARINE AQUACULTURE
In order to include a scientific component in the programming of the Mombasa Ocean Festival, we will collaborate with the Alliance Française and be part of scientific discussion on marine aquaculture. Local and international academics, researchers and stakeholders in the private sector will interact and present their work/research.
The Alliance Française de Mombasa was founded in 1975. It is a local non-profit educational and cultural organization supported by the French Embassy whose mission is teaching the French language, promoting cultural diversity and developing partnerships between France and Kenya.

Second Life is on a mission to collect and recycle ocean plastic from biodiversity hotspots from some of our world’s most beautiful beaches. We support a network of informal collectors by purchasing plastic at 50-100% above the normal market price, which helps pay for boat transportation costs and incentives that reward island plastic collection and delivery back to the mainland for recycling at our factories. As of February 2022, Second Life is the first plastic project in the world independently audited and certified under the Verra Plastic Waste Reduction Standard, an international environmental standards organization, which guarantees that all plastic collected and recycled by Second Life would not have been otherwise and therefore represents additional plastic removal from the environment.
This NFT directly supports kilograms of plastic collected by these collectors on the Thai islands of Koh Lanta, Koh Jum, Koh Klang and Koh Sriboya located in the province of Krabi, Thailand.

Sustainable inclusive playground!

Our mission is to transform the plastic banana bags and nun necks waste encountered in the environment into a strong and sustainable inclusive playground made of plastic wood. With this initiative we seek to support and help the children of the María Reyna de La Paz school, an inclusive public institution that is scarce in resources.
Our project will reuse approximately 800 kilograms of plastic. With this extensive collection, we are ready to build the necessary playground structures, including handrails, a castle, a swing, and ramps to ensure their joy and inclusion.
We are working closely with the Rotary Club of Sullana, making this initiative extend its reach beyond the playground. We will develop environmental education programs and awareness workshops aimed at integrating environmental sensibility into the community.
By combining environmental responsibility with community empowerment, our projects work to promote circular economy principles, reduce environmental impact and, most importantly, improve the lives of disadvantaged children by ensuring they have spaces where they feel valued and included.

The coastal town of Dahab is located in the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt and is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike due to its stunning natural beauty and rich marine life. However, like many coastal areas around the world, the town is facing environmental challenges such as plastic pollution and damage to marine ecosystems.
To address these challenges, the project aims to beautify the town and its surrounding areas with inspiring murals that communicate the core message of "Guarding The Sea." By using art as a tool for awareness and education, the project hopes to inspire both locals and visitors to take action to protect the environment and reduce their single-use plastic usage.
Local artists will be engaged in the project, which will not only showcase their talents but also provide them with a platform to raise awareness about environmental issues. Additionally, the project plans to create digital maps that will direct visitors to the mural locations, making it easier for them to explore and appreciate the town's artistic offerings.
Each mural will have a unique QR code that tells its story and how it came to be. This provides an opportunity for visitors to learn more about the artist, the inspiration behind the mural, and the environmental message it conveys. By sharing these stories on social media, visitors can help spread the project's message and inspire others to take action.
Overall, the project is a creative and innovative approach to environmental education and awareness. By using art to communicate important messages and engage with the local community and visitors, the project hopes to create a more sustainable future for Dahab and its surrounding areas.

The resources will be used in communication and environmental education campaigns in Costa Rica, so that consumers learn how to deliver materials to the collection centers and that way increase the volume of plastic recovery before it reaches landfills or water sources.
You can help us strengthen the value chain of our allies, the grassroots recyclers, giving priority to those centers that are led by and employ more women. In these cases, we will be able to offer better purchase prices and provide them with technical support for their own business expansion plans.
Our measure of success will be the number of people sensitized to the process and the increase in tons of plastic material for recycling that reaches our value chain. We will be able to measure this because we keep detailed control of the material received from each collection center.
