Plastic Redemption: Turning Trash into Products
They told us to put plastic in the blue bin and sleep easy.

Turns out, most of it went straight to the dump, the ocean, or someone else's backyard.

Plastic Redemption cuts through the feel-good fluff of traditional recycling and exposes why it was never built to succeed. In its place, this book offers something far more practical - and far more powerful: upcycling. Real solutions. Real materials. Real change.

Inside, you'll find:

A brutal breakdown of why plastic recycling failed A global tour of grassroots upcycling projects - from bricks to benches to roofs Step-by-step thinking for turning plastic waste into usable products Cautionary tales, ethical flags, and hands-on advice for starting your own builds How a single prototype in your backyard can light the fuse for a local revolution

No greenwashing. No billion-dollar fantasies. Just heat, pressure, and purpose.

This is not a book about saving the planet. It's a book about building a better corner of it - using the trash right at your feet.

Innocent Karikoga is a passionate environmental advocate, grassroots organizer, and the author of Plastic Redemption: Turning Trash into Products. With a sharp eye for overlooked truths and a commitment to hands-on solutions, Innocent blends research, storytelling, and dark wit to expose the failures of traditional recycling systems and champion the power of community-driven upcycling.Born with a DIY spirit and raised in a world of blue-bin myths, Innocent isn't waiting for government action - he's building small-scale solutions from the ground up. From dumpster dives to policy critiques, his work straddles the line between gritty realism and hopeful innovation.When he's not writing or building makeshift shredders, Innocent is leading a local pilot project to transform plastic waste into useful products - one neighbourhood at a time.
