These days, upcycling is a big trend, and for good reason. People are becoming more aware of the ways that our lifestyle causes damage to the planet.

But even more amazingly, plastic trash has made its way to the deep sea, drifting down to where humans themselves haven’t been able to travel.
With all that in mind, people are now aware of what they consume and, even more importantly, how they manage to reuse wasteful materials.
