Installed against a large wall, the three-dimensional piece is created with plastics discovered by Mather throughout Atlanta, and recyclable plastics collected by ALPLA employees.
These include types 1 (polyethylene terephthalate, or PET), 2 (high-density polyethylene, or HDPE), and 5 (polypropylene, or PP).
The interactive artwork will be displayed at The Grove in Atlanta throughout summer 2024.
Plastic Reimagined is an ongoing sustainability initiative by ALPLA designed to provide reliable and action-based content to consumers on how to reduce plastic pollution.
