All in their own unique way the craftsmen there were able to find their own unique translation of these waste materials into something functional and recognizable with added value. They then made these products available for other local industries resulting in personal revenue and providing means of production for other craftsmen, keeping both industries thriving on a small scale. When we were trying to find solutions for people’s and industry’s disposed of plastics, looking back at the idea we studied in india we knew that the outcome should not be a final product. this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
