Why should we recycle in 2023.

Recycling is important both for the Environment and for people, it is a continuous action of collecting and processing residues that would otherwise be discarded as garbage; but which can be reused and transformed into new products.

 

Recycling helps conserve natural resources like wood, water and minerals, reducing the need to extract new raw materials. Recycled materials does not require much energy to be remanufactured compared to converting new raw materials into usable products, therefore it generates savings.

 

The importance of recycling for artisans:

 

And that’s why recycling is a topic that is increasingly present in the lives of artisans. In addition to helping the environment, you make this technique allow the reuse of various items that would be thrown away and that would have a very cruel fate for the world’s nature, so by recycling, you not only preserve future generations, but it also allows for the creation of new manual pieces, which are composed of previously unthinkable materials. And the advantages don’t stop there, since by making a recycled part you save on material, and still manage to sell it for a considerable price.

 

Every year tons of plastic are dumped in inappropriate places like the sea, open garbage, now imagine with me if this was recycled and transformed into material for crafts. It’s time for the plastics industry to stop using a material that lasts forever to make products that are used once and then thrown away. California – which boasts the world’s fifth-largest economy – has been bold in raising the bar for reducing single-use plastic. Products and food packaging made from single-use plastic are among six of the top 10 types of objects most frequently collected during California’s annual beach cleanups.

“The bottles are not so disposable, you can produce a lot with them. The idea is precisely to add value and also generate manual skill, employment and income”

Inspirations for craft creation:

 

Plastic artists increasingly support sustainable creation. With the reuse of materials for the production of works they attract the looks of curious and the attention of people in general. Often, the change is so great that the final products look nothing like recycled material.

 

The Brazilian Vik Muniz, known for the documentary “Lixo Extraordinário”, which deals with the work of garbage collectors in landfills, is one of the most renowned and recognized in the area.

 

In your hands, garbage becomes a work of art.

Among his works, we highlight the portraits that were left with garbage and the work done at Rio+20, in which people could bring recycled products for the artist to make up his work. In his last work, the artist used magazines of all subjects to commake images of famous artists and anonymous characters.

 

You who are a small craftsman and want to start but do not have money for material, know that EVERYTHING can be used to make art, even discardable things. I hope these tips that HandCraft Cool gave, will inspire each of you, and know that Recycled Craft is art.
