At a Taipei, Taiwan zero-waste workshop, bottle caps, food packaging, utensils, and old toys are just some of the plastic items that are given a new lease of life.
Customers are gaining hands-on experience in the recycling process, including upcycling plastic waste they bring from home by softening and molding it into a pair of trendy sunglasses.
