Day in the life: plastic to purpose

05:40. Headlamps and sacks. Collectors beat the heat and weigh in glass-soft plastic before the sun owns the beach.

08:15. Youth crews sort by resin code. Every kilo is tagged for the recycler that feeds our sensor line.

11:00. A learning circle under tarp: mapping exercise on tablets that need no tower.

14:30. Field tech bolts a dome housing onto a reclaimed board. The LED self-test blinks cyan twice.

17:45. Mesh repeater goes up on a recycled pole; the camp map tile updates offline.

21:10. Night pass: constellations and downlink window. The same plastic that was trash now carries firmware.
