An innovative use has been found for old plastic toys headed for the tip.
Vanessa Yuan and Joris Vanbrielhave started ecoBirdy, to reduce plastic waste and turn old toys into furniture – choosing toys because many are made of plastic.
They collect toys from schools and recycling centres, then pre-sort them to remove old
batteries.
The toys are then shredded and washed before being sorted according to material and colour.
The pair makes a special secret mix to hold the pieces together, and the mixture goes into a mould before cooling and quality control.
Pricing for the recycled toy furniture starts at $148.
