1. Bowls

This bowl is made by Gülnur Özdağlar, an architect and Etsy seller. She has been producing jewelery and home decor accessories by recycling PET bottles since 2008. She collects, heats, cuts, drills and shapes recyclable plastic bottles to make her art and accessories. Her aim is to “obtain objects from things that have been discarded that are so beautiful, that we would want to wear or exhibit them, thus underlining the importance of “recycling” and encouraging it. In this way she provides her own personal answer to the problem of recycling. She believes that in the future there will be a plastic material that will not proceed from the cradle to the grave, but that will return to the cradle with no loss…” I think she is spot on with her philosophy regarding plastic. See her instructions on how to make one yourself on Instructables. [Image by gulguvenc, used with permission] Next » Vertical Garden
