This download contains ten ideas for crafts using plastic bottles. Not only are these ideas fun, but they could also save you money!
Over the last 50 years, plastic products have become almost irreplaceable in our lives and are used in huge quantities across the world. In the UK alone, 15 million plastic bottles are used every day.
As plastic is very cheap and versatile, around 50% of the plastic items we produce are single-use products and subsequently get thrown away almost immediately.
Plastic often ends up in the oceans where it harms marine life and their habitats, with over 600 species around the world harmed by plastic every year. No ocean on Earth is unaffected by plastic pollution.
