This past Wednesday my wife, family and I were invited to a VIP function at the famous Komune Beach Club about 3 KM up the beach from us at Bali Paradise Beach Estates.
Prior to the event, I ran across an article regarding Homes that were created completely from plastic trash off the beaches.
Since I live on the beach and have lived in Bali for 22 years and prior to that Hawaii for 18 years, I was very interested in seeing this product and whether I could be of any assistance in helping to make this happen.
This VIP event was in combination with the Corona Bali Protected International surf competition being held all this week.
Unfortunately several of his panels got caught up in customs and did not arrive in time but we did view the product and it appears to be strong. In fact it can withstand class V cyclones, if built properly.

They are seeking to set up a company and a factory on Bali or Java to process beach trash and recycle it into Nev Homes.
My recommendation was to go to Java to set up factory because there they would be able to collect the trash before it even gets to the rivers. A high percentage of Bali's plastic beach trash comes from rivers from Java.
Since they don't have any government organized collection systems in the poor villages they throw their garbage in the river. Out of sight out of mind.
As the world is discovering, plastic could be the end of all of us.
Huge mammals such as dolphins and whales are washing up daily around the world with vast amounts of plastic in their stomachs.
We must realize that it's time to do take a stance.

As Nev Nev pointed out you can't stop plastic.
Plastic may increase 50% in the coming years so it's better to find a way of preventing it from reaching the oceans and if it does collect it and use it.

Later we enjoyed a nice dinner at the Komune and watched the presentation by several environmentalists including the former Executive Vice President of iPad a gentleman who has over 300 patents to his name.
He spoke about how he has moved to Bali recently and is involved in environmental cleanup.
Tony Cannon, Co-Owner of the Komune Resort also spoke about how difficult it is to keep trash off the beaches and why a usage for the trash such as Nev Houses or a plastic motorcycle he built can create a demand that would help clean up the beaches and the ocean.

Our boys enjoyed wandering around especially since Komune had their surf night lights on for the Corona surf competition being held here all this week.
Unfortunately, the waves were not up on the 15th but are expected to be up this weekend.

I established 3 surfboard brands of which I am very proud, from Odyssey surfboards (1973 – 1977) Western Australia, to Nev Future Shapes in Queensland 1978 to 2006 which then evolved into the globally renown Firewire Surfboards.
To compliment the Nev surfboard range I also established Nev Japan, as an apparel, shoes and accessories company, and was instrumental in the development of CAD-CAM computer surfboard design and manufacturing, APS3000 / AKU Shaper which is now Industry Standard amongst surfboard designers worldwide.
Strangely, I have 2 Guinness World records for the largest surfboard ever built and for the most surfers riding on a wave on one surfboard, (47 in Queensland and 60 in California, 2005).
Recently, due to my life in and around the ocean and sincere passion for the environment, I took an interest in recycling waste plastic, the scourge of the seas. The result is that I am founding partner of Nev House Pty ltd, an Australian based company that creates flatpack houses from a unique compound made from waste plastic and recycled woods, with the aim to replace slums with hygienic, long lasting low cost houses that can be erected and dismantled in 2-4 days.

Summary
Having never had a “real” job, my career from day one has been to embrace that innate entrepreneurial spirit, turn on that opportunity radar, see what comes my way.
