From beach trash to functional design, we’re all about the plastic metamorphosis.
Keeping plastic out of the ocean & using art to spread awareness.

Make Art Not Waste, Cambodia
PROFILE
Make art not waste came about in 2017 when Nina Clayton, an Environmental Science graduate and Dive Master studying marine conservation, became aware of the devastating amount of plastic waste in the ocean after witnessing it washing ashore daily on the remote island of Koh Seh in Cambodia.
Nina and other Marine Conservation Cambodia volunteers make artworks, mosaics, sculptures and installations from the beach finds. An outreach programme was created to spread awareness among schools and universities in Cambodia.
