EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stack of chips made from recycled plastic bottles at the Weeco plastic recycling factory in the Athi River industrial zone near Nairobi, Kenya. Taken on May 15,2019, this image showcases the creative use of discarded plastic bottles to address environmental issues and combat climate change. The photograph highlights the innovative approach taken by Weeco in transforming rubbish into valuable resources. The chips made from these recycled bottles symbolize sustainable development and emphasize the importance of recycling for a greener future. The full frame composition allows us to witness the magnitude of this recycling site, with multiple stacks of bottles piled up high. It serves as a powerful reminder that our environment is plagued by excessive waste and landfill sites. Notably absent from this image are people, emphasizing that it is not just an individual's responsibility but rather a collective effort to tackle environmental challenges. This picture encourages viewers to reflect on their own consumption habits and consider how they can contribute towards preserving our planet. Photographer Baz Ratner skillfully captures both the scale of this issue and its potential solutions through his lens. His work prompts us to appreciate the beauty found within sustainability initiatives while urging us all to take action against plastic pollution.
