Making Profit from Waste

This is a truly remarkable 10 minute video which is perfect for showing to business students as a way of illustrating how entrepreneurial flair (and a large dose of technological innovation) can result in a profitable product which is genuinely good for society. A big hat tip to Geoff for recommending it.

I will let the video speak for itself. So many ways in which it could be used to stimulate a discussion for business students. Economies of scale; innovation; methods of production, technology in the production process & much more. Fantastic.
