My vision is for a plastic free environment for future generations to come. Message us to order. I’m Zoe, “The Little Upcycler” and I am 13 years old. My personal mission is to tackle plastic pollution at the source, and to reduce waste and litter in the playground, school, community and beyond. DID YOU KNOW that Plastic pollution is now considered one of the largest environmental threats facing
humans and animals globally! And because it doesn't degrade and instead breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces, much of that plastic is still here on earth. The problem is clear: too much plastic. Recent studies estimate that if we do not reduce the amount of plastic that we use and throw 'away', there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050 (by weight). This is equivalent to four garbage trucks of plastic entering the ocean every minute! MY MISSION
We believe that small decisions we all make every day can contribute to creating a healthier ocean and a greener planet. So I decided to start making beeswax wraps as a re-usable and sustainable alternative to plastic cling wrap and zip lock bags, which are some of the most common and avoidable plastic items. Beeswax wraps can last for years, can be recoated in wax if they are damaged, and can be composted when they reach the end of their life. I make these from up-cycled fabric and Organic Bees Wax. Here are the prices and sizes:
• Small -L24cmxW20cm - $3
• Medium -L25cmxW25cm -$5
• Large -L35cmxW25cm -$7
• Other sizes can be made to order
In addition to Bees Wax Wraps, I also upcycle things into useful, eco-friendly alternatives to single use plastic items, such as:
• Produce Bags (set of 4) in a drawstring bag $10
• Washable make-up wipes (set of 6) in a washable bag $10
• Re-usable cutlery in its own carry case $10
I am always looking at ways of upcycling things that would of ended up in landfill, and creating them into more useful products that are good for the environment. Thank you for your interest in my creations !!
