Part of an International Labour Office (ILO) and Lay Volunteers International Association (LVIA), Piemonte, a non-governmental organization (NGO), project, the film illustrates how Burkina Faso’s first plastic recycling centre is paving the way for a new kind of development project that provides a money earner to the poor of Ouagadougou, while tackling a major environmental pollution problem affecting many African cities. Even local industry benefits: the recycled plastic granules cost half the price of new plastic imported from abroad.
Damien Riunaud graduated from the Ecole Supérieure de Réalisation Audiovisuelle, Paris. He has worked as editor, cameraman and video reporter for the International Labour Office (ILO) since 2000, assisting and directing different film assignments in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. His production includes news reports and documentaries on labour issues.
“The ILO Training Center in Turin teaches, among others courses, how to conceive and implement development projects. Andrea Micconi had an original idea: to provide a source of employment for the Burkinabe people and solve a major pollution problem at the same time. So, the ILO asked me to go to Ouagadougou and have Micconi show me how the project was working: a self-run plastic recycling center in one of the world’s poorest areas. Often, environmental problems perpetrate underdevelopment: plastic waste, for instance, severely reduces agricultural productivity and kills cattle that accidentally ingest it, representing a real damage to the few local resources."
