Those plastic pouches with water may provide inexpensive hydration - but they end up costing the environment a lot more in the long term. It's plastic waste that has no recycling option - one man in Dangriga is turning discarded pouches into practical, everyday mesh bags. He's managed to shred and spin the material into a sturdy type of twine used to weave, and we went to Dangriga today to see how he does it. Jomarie Lanza met with the men leading this new form of recycling at Epworth Methodist Primary School.
