PLASTIC IS FANTASTIC

Plastic is strong and durable and beautiful, albeit incredibly overused in our current world. We trap waste by turning it into beautiful and functional forms highlighting the past histories of the material. Jerry cans, blue jugs, oil containers, prescription pill bottles, yoghurt containers, plant pots, detergent bottles, the list is almost endless – types 2 & 5 plastics make up almost everything in our lives. We have developed a strong appreciation for this material.

My ring was given to me by my dear friend and I love that it is old Yukon plastic made anew.

I like this idea. Instead of sending plastic to waste, it’s better to recreate or reproduce something new out of it that will help reduce waste in landfills.

Love our soap dish! The random splashes of blue and white are beautiful and the ‘wave’ design eye-catching. A great and novel use of recycled plastic!

My ring is holding up great after more than a year and I still wear it everyday.
