Upcycled Plastic can be used for fencing, decking or to make disaster-relief shelters
In Phillipines a group of recyclers is trying to help towards the plastic waste of the world by upcycling it. They are turning waste materials like bottles, single-use sachets and snack food wrappers that clog rivers and spoil beaches into building materials.
“People are unaware of how to dispose of their non-degradable waste. We give that avenue that instead of putting it in landfills or oceans. You give it to recycling centres like us and we would upcycle them into better products.”- said Allison Tan, The Plaf’s marketing associate.
