Extramuros est un atelier de recyclage urbain, planté au coeur d’une décharge Veolia afin d’être au coeur même de l’entreprise de recyclage et de profiter instantanément des matériaux mis à disposition.
De plus, l’entreprise intègre une démarche sociale avec une politique de jobs d’insertion.
Elle permet ainsi de donner une nouvelle image à des déchets et parfois de les réintégrer dans un cadre supérieur à celui d’origine (cf photo.)
As announced in a previous post, the idea here is to recycle old TV cases to create a soilless agriculture in Agbogbloshie.
Here are the different steps to create a Re-vegetating TV.
STEP 1
Put sand and soil in a TV case so it allows plants to grow in a “healthy middle”.
STEP 2
The idea here is to protect plants from acid rain and to create a water reserve.
We use for that corrugated iron (easily findable on site) to separate two different areas. Water so will be filtered.
STEP 3
To complete the TV case, we add it a water pump made with iron tubes.
Easy to make, it will allow farmers to pump “healthy” rain water to water plants. According to seasons, that TV case will be self-sufficient to grow plants.
STEP 4
Here is a “blueprint” of how to use the water pump.
Vegetation in Agbogbloshie is a real problem because of earth pollution.
We can see that it lost around 90% of its surface in a decade.
So what can we do to re-vegetate Agbogbloshie and allow healthy agriculture?
We propose here to recycle dumped TV and computer cases in soilless agriculture furnitures.
Freely inspired from Wall-E movie, that picture tries to demonstrate how -if we would to- Agbogbloshie dump could be reviewed as a real goldmine, using its whole potential by recycling E-waste.
