In the past month we as team CHAKO have been quite busy. We can often be found at the workplace outside of Stonetown, where we work together with the artisans. Together with them we were able to create the framework and a carved wooden shade for the lamp. The artisans are talented woodworkers so this would never have been possible without them! We also started working on the molds for the plastic waste. Pressing the plastic is still quite a job, but we are making good progress. By first shredding different colors of plastic and then melting it in the injection machine, we get a nice mix of colors in the bars. This way we can give the plastic collected on the island a beautiful new life!!
