Office plants:
Recycled containers
The recycled plastic containers combine a strong environmental message with an evocative and distinct aesthetic appeal, linked to the processing of waste, especially plastics.
The displays are made from a variety of recycled plastics such as used vending machine coffee cups, yoghurt pots and refrigerator linings,underground pipe material (blue from water pipes and yellow from gas mains), crushed CDs & plastic water bottles and banknotes.

The bottles are from various UK municipal authority collection schemes. The exact mix will also vary according to the area from which the bottles are collected, fashion in bottle colours, and the season of the year.The manufacturing process produces a characteristic flow patternwhich streaks outwards towards the edges and corners.
