Plastic

Plastic is a material made from a wide range of synthetic/semi-synthetic compounds that are malleable and can be moulded into many shapes and objects. Designers and makers are addressing the growing environmental issue of discarded plastic by turning the waste into innovative products such as solid surfaces and furniture, illustrating how versatile recycled plastic can be.
