The recycling of plastic waste is an important issue in Benin because it requires a lot of means and energy. To solve this issue, a group of women from a drama group named "Qui dit mieux" ("who can top that") has a surprising idea. They collect bags which are carefully cleaned, then cut into thin slices so they can braid them and shape them into all sorts of items. A work which requires patience but displays a great deal of ingenuity.
