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

Local and international academics, researchers and stakeholders in the private sector will interact and present their work/research.

Capacity, capacity, capacity to recover more
over 1 year ago2 kgplastic recovered
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.

PLASTICOS GÜELL SL started its journey as a small company founded by RAMON BALAGUÉ in the 60s in Colonia Güell with a small grinder mill at a time when the recycling market was yet to be discovered. 30 years later, we have evolved with the times, and that small company has become our pride and joy, having diversified into a whole production process that covers much of the market in the recovery of plastic materials.
