Kinshasa is a mega city of 12 million people known for its plastic pollution.

But all the plastic rubbish is creating business in the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The country's first recycling business, Clean Plast, collects different types of plastic.

They are trying to fix the problem.

Clean Plast's director, Alexander Bamanisa tells us more.

Plastic that is collected from the rubbish is used to make other products.

This plastic is collected by locals who are trained by Clean Plast to do specific roles in the recycling process.

Some workers only collect plastic.

They get paid per kilogram.

Clean Plast is helping the environment and creating jobs.

This is 'sustainability'.

Jeanne Bopena works with Clean Plast.

She's a local plastic collector.

Clean Plast also collects plastic from shops and factories.

This provides different types of plastic.

This benefits businesses because it's cheaper for them to make new products.

Bamanisa thinks this can encourage businesses to recycle plastic.
