When you visited Ghana, did you try to recycle the water satchets? I don’t know if they would really grind, but perhaps shred? I’m curious how you would adapt your machines for something like that.
And then of course there is the sheer volume in question! What did you think when you were there?

Is there a way to recycle them too? Recycle services say they “clog” their machines. I may have missed it but would love to have a way to recycle them. And maybe make “real” shopping bags from them.
