in 2019 I bought a pair of jeans - so comfortable- made of plastic bottle. I kept the tag because I found it was extraordinary to recycle this way ! The jeans are made in Bangladesh .

These CD's I have recycled from the library when they were cleared out last year. Now they are adorning my Nashi Pear tree trying to deter the parrots from eating the almost ripe fruit. As they blow in the wind and reflect the sun at odd times perhaps the movement is scary.
made out of old metal, chain, nails and rebar

My collection of plastic bags that I keep for reuse in the plastic dispenser from Ikea. For Macro Mondays 'Plastic' theme.
So I was out running errands and spotted this! If I was a true recycler, I would have scooped it up to reuse- right?
Well in this instance , recycling !! Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 04/01/25 -- Seasonal !!
So here we are with a random shot of a recycling bin left out for the dustman after the Christmas festivities and obviously a seasonal bi-product is the amount of rubbish and recycling that is generated by many - next week it will be proper rubbish to be collected and I wonder how full to overflowing the black bins will be . I am glad to say as a rule my green bin is usually full but not overflowing and the black bin is usually no more than two thirds full or less . I did note this year that most folk left their bins out on the usual day only for it not to be collected !! There is always an alteration to collection times this time of the year so that the bin men get time off for the bank holidays !!
So for our music this week , it has to be a track from an album called " Recycler " !
First the electric version , then the wooden version from the film and then ZZ Top talking about playing on the film !!

Not great ideas for Smiling on Saturday, just a modest pot-holder made by me recycling an old shirt of my husband, an easy work thanks to the chequered design ;-)

Recycling is really developed in Germany, almost every type of bottle and container can be recycled and there is a very good system for doing so. Here is a view into a recycling machine which recycles cola, beer and milk bottles and credits back the Pfand (or deposit) to the consumer. You slide the bottle on the conveyor belt, then the belt catches the bottle and spins it while a blue laser light (which is on in this picture) flashes and reads the UPC code. That way it knows the proper amount of the Pfand and also the brand name of the soda or beer the bottle belongs to. Then the bottle slides further along the belt where it is sorted and at the end, the consumer is given a voucher for all the deposits which they can then trade in for cash.
eine gute Idee...finde ich...

If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt,
refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled, or composted,
then it should be restricted, redesigned or removed from production.

Happy Bench Monday...
on average 8 million tones of plastic finds it's way into the ocean each year and it never goes away, it breaks down eventually, but even then the pellets that it becomes is in turn eaten by the marine life. We need to do more than recycle, we need to stop using plastic containers and being a throw away society.
Give it some thought, don't put your lunch in a baggie, put it in a glass container. Bring a thermos of water, not a bottle, and buy beer in bottles, not cans.... :-) (due to the plastic thingy that binds them)
dashing to work now, blow it up and check out the beautiful and awful mural.
One of my lockdown projects last year. Our yoga mats needed new bags as the ones supplied with the mats were falling apart. I found this idea of using old jeans online and reused the original drawstrings and carrying handles so the only new item I needed to make these was the sewing thread.

Taken at the Emmet County Recycling, Composting and Waste Transfer Station in Harbor Springs, Michigan.
Ever wonder what happens to your recycling? Well, we found out and now you know. Michigan charges a deposit on all pop cans, so they don't end up in these bundles. I wish other states would initiate deposits on pop cans. Our states would be a lot cleaner.
Street Art des portugiesischen Künstlers Bordalo II im Rahmen des San Hejmo Festivals 2023 in Weeze. Der Künstler verarbeitet Plastik- und Metallabfälle zu eindrucksvollen Tierskulpturen.
Diese Skulptur stellt ein Wildschwein dar, hat aber auch eine gewisse Ähnlichkeit mit Alf aus der gleichnamigen Fernsehserie der 1980er.
Street Art by the Portuguese artist Bordalo II as part of the San Hejmo Festival 2023 in Weeze. The artist processes plastic and metal waste to impressive animal sculptures.
This sculpture depicts a wild boar, but also bears a certain resemblance to Alf from the 1980s TV series of the same name.
