How are items reused?
Repurposing or recycling breakables that cannot be resold or reused can lead to a variety of creative and practical uses. Here are some potential applications:
Home Decor
Turn those pieces into cool art, eye-catching mosaics, or fun decorations to give your space a unique vibe.
Garden
Repurposed ceramics can serve as planters, bird baths, or garden sculptures, adding charm and personality to outdoor spaces.
Craft Supplies
Pieces of broken dishes, glass, or figurines can be used in crafts, such as creating jewelry, wind chimes, or collages.
Aggregate
Recycled glass can be crushed into aggregate for construction use, such as in concrete, asphalt, or landscaping.
Funcitional
Broken glass can be reformed into functional objects like glass beads for crafting or unique bottle stoppers.
Art
Artists often utilise recycled materials to create sculptures, mixed media artworks, or public installations, showcasing creativity and sustainability.
Recycling
Recycled glass and ceramics can be remade into new glass containers, dishes, or tableware, reducing the need for new production.
Community
We partner with community-based organisations that benefit from the resale of items in their second shops.
Education
Broken items can serve as teaching tools in art, science, or recycling programs, demonstrating concepts of material properties and sustainability.
