Jewelry, Recycled Plastic and Behavioral Change
Background
Diamonds may be ‘a girl’s best friend’, but conversely, the diamond mining industry is an enormous burden on the environment.
Jewelry, Recycled Plastic and Behavioral Change
Hence, the designer is seeking novel pathways for the production of the jewellery with which we are eager to adorn ourselves, and which in addition to its aesthetic value also carries a narrative of history, values, culture and status. Plastic has long been the black sheep of the environment, but it is actually a good choice of material for jewellery, as plastic, in fact, pollutes much less than both glass and metal – especially if we are talking about recycled plastic.
