AN ARTISTIC TOUCH TO RECYCLING AT THE FAIR: “PET WORLD WALL”

One of the projects that attracted attention during the fair was the “Pet World Wall”, which was realised under the leadership of upcycling artist Zeliha Sunal. This special work of art, which started at Tüyap Fair Convention and Congress Centre before the fair and was completed with the contribution of visitors during the fair, was created by reusing the collected plastic bottles. This creative work, which aims to raise recycling awareness, demonstrated how plastic waste can be transformed into valuable structures with an artistic vision. With this meaningful project, RePlast Eurasia contributed to sustainability not only from an industrial but also from a cultural perspective.
