– Well, you see, it is a pity, it’s almost historical value – say the organizers of the #of Nemesianus entrepreneur Ilya Kapustin and co-founder Ian Trudova. We decided, why not arrange a one exposure. Supplemented with other “rarities” from the trash. You would know what really interesting things can meet among the mountains someone of rubbish. The legendary refrigerator “ZIL”, for example, which was used in the middle of the last century. The famous reel-to-reel tape recorders or pagers, which were in the course of yesterday and today is ready to become a Museum piece.
When a junk antique have accumulated for the whole Biennale, environmental activists decided to hold an exhibition in one of the shopping centers of the city. So much for her Night of museums and called site #of Nemusulmanina. It is so called because the most “valuable” exhibit you can touch, says Ian Trudova.
the Organizers themselves did not expect the first day will come more than four thousand visitors.
Well, then #of Nemusulmanina began to rapidly gain popularity. But not only thanks to the exhibition: the guys were on this site to accept clean sorted by key factions of the garbage – paper, three types of glass, metal, some plastics. Separate clothes and shoes. Moreover, because clothing often bring solid, even and stylish, you can buy it on the open market. That is how much they will offer. Well, or to take charge. For repair of shoes mounted machine. Update shoes and boots and help them not to go to landfill, and to extend the period of use. Immediately arrange master-classes from old jeans can be made, for example, the perfect quilt patchwork.
And even environmental activists educate thousands of people how to properly sort garbage. Glass, for example, should be divided into green, dark and transparent. Plastic bottles of milk and jars of mayonnaise it is necessary to wash. Oily paper in the paper folding is impossible. But the most important rule: to separate dry from wet, i.e., food waste dry fractions. In General, as the staff of the ecomuseum, the processing can go 80 percent of the contents of a garbage can. The rest, alas, no: diapers, paper cups, plastic coated inside, bubble gum, sushi sticks, bottles of nail Polish, etc.
it would Seem that many of the drudgery of this sort, to wash something, dry it, but you guys-the organizers themselves were surprised to see how the information is required and, most importantly, how many people with alsotana to sort waste, but also to take him through the city.
Now in the spring #of Nemusulmanina was almost closed because of the pandemic. Shopping malls are forbidden to work, lost the site and the ecomuseum. Fortunately, by the��ogli the people themselves, collected money for the rental and now in possession of the founders of the ecomuseum, the new spacious premises in the city centre, as well as fixed station of separate collection, in one of already opened shopping center. For the month collected more than 50 tons of sorted trash. Signed contracts with the processors.
Entrepreneurship is, of course, until the call, the guys have and then to invest the proceeds from their business (Ilya, for example, engaged in the recycling of office), and soon, it’s a very useful hobby. But, surprisingly, #of Nemusulmanina may in the future become profitable.
– We have calculated that the debris started to make a profit you need per month to collect not less than 80 tons of clean sorted waste, – says Ilya Kapustin. While we do not hold, of course. But most importantly, there is a commercial demand for recyclables. Moreover, it is not enough. China temporarily not buying plastic, because of this, now the demand for secondary material fell, Ukraine buys the cardboard. Many European countries are willing to take different waste fractions. And in Russia, more and more waste recyclers. Their number, I am sure, will continue to grow, when there will be clean-sorted raw materials. Yet that’s exactly the problem.
in General, if you consider garbage collection as a business, then it’s all serious. The price of waste paper, for example, jumps as the dollar on the exchange: two to six rubles per kilogram. You need to look carefully who are cheaper to sell. Same with metal, plastic, etc. And skilful approach in the country in General, such activities could begin to make a profit.
While it goes about half used paper, up to 80 percent iron, about 10 percent glass and the same plastic. The rest of my shit gets on the polygon.
Now the guys plan to open a unique multifunctional eco-centre. The idea found support among participants of the program “the Ural Investromania 2020”. Jan Trudova was among the developers, Ilya Kapustin plays the role of the expert.
– Just imagine: in one place will be gathered educational programs for people of all ages, interactive Museum exhibition, the processors, and a food court healthy food that is “single window” for any questions regarding separate waste collection. Such a platform will not only increase the level of ecomachine citizens, but will also increase the flow of donated, recycled, and therefore will benefit everyone: society, business, and, of course, the planet, and describe the future center of the authors of the idea.
– Over time, the culture of caring eco-friendly attitude to what surrounds us, the society is required to be formed, – said Ilya Kapustin. – We are genetically programmed a special relationship to secondary raw materials. In the USSR it was the most advanced system for the treatment of wasteAMI in the world. No one could not conceive of how to throw paper or glass. I remember how my grandmother soap plastic bags, hung, dried and used while not washing’s to come.
How to tell environmental activists that some are brought on site waste collection, for example, glass, and even initially a little shy of his good desires. Like, not solid the bottle through the whole city being taken, suddenly laughed at. “And that’s OK, – says Ilya Kapustin. – Time will bring, then start to involve in business and other. I think not far off that time when we see illegal dumping. People will no longer “shy” and begin to clean up and sort the garbage.”
