A man walks past a 270 square meters mural made with plastic bottle caps by Venezuelan artist Oscar Olivares in Guatire, Venezuela, on Sept. 13, 2022. Danny Serrano, a 43-year-old bricklayer, began talking to his children about recycling since he participated in the construction of a mural made with plastic caps, an artistic piece that sends a powerful message in Venezuela, a country where recycling is a rarity. About a ton of plastic waste will be art and not garbage thanks to this 270-meter mural on a brick wall next to a busy avenue in Guatire, a town of about 180,000 inhabitants 50 kilometers from Caracas.

 


Mariana Camacho shows a sculpture made with recyclable materials by Colombian artist Edison Camacho in the Tire Museum, in San Francisco de Sales, Colombia, on March 31, 2023. The museum was born as a family business and began as an exhibition of sculptures made with recycled material as tires to raise awareness in society about environmental pollution and transform garbage into art.
