Reused Plastic As A Bangle

Description Reused Plastic As A Bangle. This multi coloured hand crafted bangle with marine debris has been made using pieces of reclaimed and also recycled pieces of hard plastic embedded in bio resin. The scattering of a range of coloured pieces of hard plastic in translucent  resin, gives this one off bracelet a whimsical and fun feel.  We have deliberately focused on plastic pieces only in order to draw attention to the variety of plastics found in our oceans. Reused Plastic As A Bangle To Carry An Environmental Message. Collected from our beaches, marine debris in the form of hard plastics are the key feature in this fashion statement piece. Incorporating man made waste collected from local beaches, this bangle showcases man made waste. Hand collected by both volunteers and recreational dive groups, the plastic has been featured as a deliberate environmental statement. Did you know? 8 million tons of plastic goes into our oceans, waterways and also our beaches every year? Here are a few facts about these plastic wastes  Hand Made With Love Because we hand make each of our bangles, you may find slight imperfections. This may be due to something in the resin sitting close to the surface and creating slight ripples or waves in the surface of the resin.  It may be that the micro plastics react with the resin and cause slight clouding in spots.  There may even be a slight or small dimple caused by an air bubble. We believe all these features show that each of our pieces is hand made and not produced in a factory or by machine. They also make each piece unique, unusual and quirky.  Care of your Bangle Resins gradually yellow with time due to exposure to UV. Just to make sure it stays in excellent condition, however, we send you your bangle in its own bag. We suggest storing it away from light when not being worn. To clean your bangle, simply wipe it over with a soft cloth. Do you have a query or question? Why not drop us a line? We’d like to hear from you. Details .
