We are very excited and proud to share with you the National Geographic Jackie Chan’s “Green Heroes” of our amazing cleanup mission in Tibet is on Air.
In the documentary MINIWIZ brought the TRASHPRESSO to the Zado county, Qinghai on the Tibetan Plateau October 2017. The program will feature National Geographic’s 2016 Emerging Explorer, Arthur Huang who, in conjunction with his team at Miniwiz and Jackie Chan, co-invented the “TRASHPRESSO”. Trashpresso is the world’s first mobile and off-grid recycling plant powered by solar energy.
Arthur and Jackie decide to test their new machine in the harshest of conditions by taking it to the Tibetan Plateau: a 1500-mile journey to an altitude of over two and a half miles. The frozen beauty of these plains and mountains belies their importance as the source of the freshwater for a third of the world’s population - the perfect place to push TRASHPRESSO’S remote cleanup capabilities to its limits.
Arthur and Jackie face the technical challenges of operating cutting edge technology in the remotest and harshest of locations. They also team up with local organizations to collect trash to feed the TRASHPRESSO and discover the problems they face and what technology can do to help them safeguard the sacred source of Asia’s rivers.
After 3,000 kilometers long journey, the MINIWIZ Team collaborated with residents and nomads turn modern trash left by tourist into scalable, market-value building material at the altitude of 4,500 meters in the first county of Lancang River - Zaduo County.
