Carter Zufelt’s Müll project takes the beauty of recycling to a literal level, transforming wasteful plastic bags into meaningful objects. Ranging from a small cube to larger containers and even stool-style seating, these items are not only beautiful designed but they also bring awareness to the world’s plastic problem. Additionally, they represent the countless animal lives saved simply by preventing a fraction of the roughly 95,000,000,000 (unrecycled) bags used each year from floating around.
