Coming to us via GreenMuse is this stunning jewellery created from recycled plastic bottles in Algeria’s Saharawi refugee camps.
UK-based artist Florie Salnot, who is working in collaboration with Sandblast on this project, explains:
In the Saharawi refugee camps, being sustainable by recycling is not a choice but one of the only opportunities when it comes to making, because the resources available in the Sahara desert are minimal. Plastic bottles, which lie around the camps as litter, are one of the few resources available.
