Plastic
The Flipflopi is a Kenyan community-built boat constructed from recycled marine plastic and flip-flops. The project calls for a plastic revolution and raises awareness of the dangers of single-use plastic, of which 12 million tonnes is dumped at sea every year rather than repurposed or recycled.
The six-minute film documents the Flipflopi’s journey, starting with Kenya’s drastic plastics ban in 2017 where anyone caught producing, selling or even carrying a plastic bag could be imprisoned.
This story aims to inspire more innovative ways to repurpose ‘already-used’ plastic and calls for viewers to support the on-going Flipflopi project.
