00:00Every year we have a night to tell the world how long the cycle will take before it ends up at a landfill.

00:06So today is a really exciting day for us because we are launching our ship at the end of the year.

00:11We're going after the city, we're going to find the best sewers that people are trying to do,

00:15to make sure that we're not going to wet the seams, so the physical centre that a landfill is actually generating.

00:20And if they need it to end up there, what we're trying to do is collect everybody's wet seams

00:26and do something really positive with it.

00:28So we're aiming to collect wet seams from across the world and hopefully convert them to get bigger.

00:34So if we don't want the air centre to have wet seams, that's not the way it's managed,

00:39we'll leave it, there'll be a special bin, we'll put food in there and then that's the way we're going to take them.

00:45Hopefully we'll have something, I'm sure we will.

00:47So it's going to be big.

00:49We're going to compare what's available to local air centres and what's available that we can't sell.

00:54We're not going to sell, we're not going to make them.

00:56This is so crazy.

00:58You can turn it into a big pencil case and it's cushioned.

01:03We're just basically trying to stop so much landfill.

01:06So that's the environmental crisis.

01:08I mean this is a big problem.
