A second life: ocean plastics re-imagined
Perhaps we can re-imagine the plastic in our oceans. It is still a pollutant, of course, but it could have greater potential. Adidas and Parley for the Oceans have been working on a project which would use 3D printing to turn ocean plastic into trainers. That's right. The plastic in our oceans could even be a resource! Projects like this could transform the lifecycle of plastic, reforming it into something useful again.

Hi Lucy! What an innovative idea! If many businesses started taking this initiative it could actually make a difference - and cheaper in some ways for them I suppose because they wouldn't have to pay for materials anymore! Thanks for posting!
