Accessories made from recycled drinking bottles

In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions recycling plastic water bottles also helps to decrease the amount of pollution in the air and water sources. Many landfill facilities will increate plastic bottles to save waste, which can emit toxic pollutants or irritants into the air. Recent years have seen an increase in awareness regarding the negative impact plastic water bottles have on the environment.

Accessories made from recycled fishing nets & ocean wasted plastics

Ghost nets contributes to the ocean plastics crisis. Most modern nets are made of nylon or other plastic compounds that can be last for centuries. According to a study in scientific reports, ghost nets make up at least 46% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Those abandoned fishing lines and nets that to breakdown never go away; they just become smaller pieces of plastics. Marine animals mistake this microplastic for food and eat it, which can harm internal organs, keep them eating and exposed them to toxic chemicals.

Products made from other recycled materials

 Everyone understands that green plastic needs more sustainable raw materials and manufacturing techniques. Sustainability must include the products whole life cycle and the social conditions in which those raw materials are produced. However, changes to the factory environment like mountains of sawdust created in daily production from woodworking factories, recycling saw dust is innovative and sustainable. Even the exhibition industry wastes carpet material, usually the used exhibition carpets are downcycled for print base materials, this change is positive for the exhibition industry.
