Alisha Maharjan (Nepal)

In developing countries like Nepal, plastic waste has been a very common and serious issue in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. I have made a beautiful plastic basket which is in my hand and another one below is a plastic mat made out of plastic waste. These are made out of my household plastic waste like noodles wrappers and biscuit wrappers. As we all know, plastic is non-biodegradable material and making upcycling products out of it means giving second life to these plastics, and at the same time protecting the environment.
