There's going to be more face masks than jellyfish in the ocean very soon. These discarded face masks, and every other imperishable waste that harms the planet, is a man-made concept. Simply relocating them is not going to solve the issue. When the lockdown began, Binish Desai immersed himself in his home laboratory to come up with an ingenious solution - Brick 2.0 - to tackle the rising demand for PPE suits and masks. The Recycle Man of Our Nation and a Padma Shri nominee, Binish Desai is a 26-year-old successful Social Entrepreneur who was featured in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list in 2018 for the same. Having developed ideas to recycle domestic and industrial waste into useful resources in a manifold, Binish has helped deflect 3592 metric tons of carbon emission from entering the atmosphere(which is a lot). Today, his innovative and entrepreneurial skills combined with his zest to save the environment have made him the proud owner of Eco Eclectic Technologies, where he has turned his innovative ideas into a reality. Binish also started a socio-economic platform named Ecolite Studio, whose primary goal has been to empower women, essentially from the rural communities. Desai was honoured with the ‘Rotary International Alumni Humanitarian of the Year’ award for South Asia and is recognised as the ‘Waste Warrior’. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
