Millennium Fellowship Project: Plastic Bottles To Purpose
Our project aims at transforming plastic bottles to a useful item. The plastic bottles are shredded into pellets, and these pellets are used as a decorative item when making a key holder. A certain amount of pellets is mixed with Epoxy making a decorative key holder. Alongside this, we are promoting awareness about the importance of recycling through various media outlets.
