We travelled to the beautiful islands of Turks and Caicos to help set up its first plastic recycling workspace - right next to where tourists arrive and leave behind mountains of waste. Teaming up with a local maker, Wellington, we turned trash into treasure using DIY machines, and showed how small-scale recycling can make a big impact. So check out the full journey, from beach cleanups to finished products. 🌴
