Manufacturer and recycler of packaging solutions ALPLA has unveiled its public art installation “Nice Time” in Atlanta, Georgia, as part of its sustainability education campaign called Plastic Reimagined.
The company has partnered with artist Hyland Mather to create and install the large-scale art piece.
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.
