Eco Factor: Recycled artwork made from used Styrofoam.
We all are quite aware of the fact that just like plastic waste Styrofoam too is extremely harmful for the environment. Being lightweight, cheap and strong, the material is still the most feasible choice for packaging products especially electronic items that require an extra degree of protection. That’s the main reason we often see DIYers trying out their skills with Styrofoam and crafting it into various items that includes chandeliers and even robots.
However, there are some designers who do possess extreme recycling skills and can make stunning pieces of art from materials that not many bother to reuse. Michael Salter is not a new name in the recycling world and there aren’t many designers who can compete with Michael in recycling Styrofoam. The designer is back again and this time with a full scale F1 racecar replica that he crafted from nothing other than trashed Styrofoam.
Obviously this car won’t help a racer win the next F1 championship, but it does wonderfully well in encouraging people to recycle trash, if not the way Michael does than in any possible way that can reduce the impact on environment.
