Plastic waste is a terrible thing – it adversely affects land, waterways and oceans, as well as all the living things that inhabit it. That’s why recycling is such an important and awesome thing to do.
But for the people behind the amazing creations below, it’s not recycling that they looked to, but rather ‘upcycling‘. Whether it’s household tools and utilities or works of art, these photos prove that you can make some pretty amazing things with a bit of creativity and some used and unwanted plastic bottles. Special thanks to BoredPanda for compiling this list.
