The objective of our project being to promote recycling in close collaboration with associations along the Marseille coastline, we must therefore adapt to the materials they make available to us.
The association Sauvage Méditerranée is dedicated to recycling plastic bottle caps, boat sails, and fishing nets. We are therefore planning to design cutlery from bottle caps, which we will extrude into flat sheets. The cutlery will then be cut using a laser cutter or milling machine. A coating that meets hygiene standards will subsequently be applied by dipping to ensure safe use.
