Recycled Plastic products ♻️

 

It started off as a family recycling project. We collected up soft plastics, most of which were not recyclable and we really wanted to create something to keep them out of landfill. We cut them up into tiny colourful pieces, fused them together to make sheets of material, sketched out ideas and card holder/wallets were the result.  

From this, 'Project Matter' was born.. I have created Project Matter to further tackle and bring awareness to the issues surrounding waste and to connect, collaborate and support other incredible, sustainable projects from around the world. 

Project Matter is currently working with a great team in Egypt, who support a small group of fishermen and women with fair wages and social services to help clean up the river Nile by fishing out kgs of plastic waste. The River Nile is hugely polluted, causing environmental and marine issues. Every kg of plastic collected is traced from the picking location to the recycling point and its given the opportunity to empower the local community with life long skills and creative jobs, transforming the waste into stunning, upcycled and recycled products... with a 'House of Ra' touch.
