At a factory in Sri Lanka's , workers use staples and glue to assemble long cardboard boxes which will be used as coffins for some the country's coronavirus victims. The coffin is made out of recycled paper and costs a sixth of the cheapest wooden casket, according to 51-year old Priyantha Sahabandu, the local government official who first came up with the idea. As Sri Lanka's death toll from Covid-19 surges, some are opting for these cardboard coffins when they cremate their loved ones.

The video shows the process of creating such eco-coffins at the factory.
