We have 8 billion people on this planet today, all of whom generate trash. Perhaps some more than others but collectively, trash is a huge problem today. The biggest culprit is plastic. Don’t get me wrong, we do need some plastic for many applications but the throw away culture means a lot of plastic ends up in the environment.
So it is a great pleasure when I come across an artisan who can elevate what is an unwanted material into fashionable earrings and divert waste from the landfills. The transformation by ellybead, a US designer based in Ohio, is remarkable. Her recycled plastic earrings are beautifully coloured and the abstract shapes is on trend.
