Recycled
An amazing range of things all made from recycled materials.
Firstly, look at the bright animals carved from recycled flip flops, that have been found washed up on the beaches of Kenya. A range of both African animals, and sea creatures.
The glass animals are made in eSwatini, from recycled glass bottles, collected primarily by children, who get paid for bringing them in. They are then transformed into these spectacular animals, being hand blown by skilled glass blowers.
The containers are from recycled plastic bottles, a small enterprise, which was started to help abused women in South Africa to earn a fair wage, and to teach them business skills. Each one unique, they also help give a use to the piles of plastic bottles that are everywhere.
The papier mache collects waste paper from offices in eSwatini, and transfers this mundane product into these vibrant bowls, money boxes, and ornaments.
One thing the African crafts people can certainly do well – is recycle!
