Plastic waste transform into tiny home and furniture in Indonesia's upcycling effort


JAKARTA, April 24 (Reuters): For the past two months, Indonesia-based environment activist Gary Bencheghib has been living in a 12-square-metre tiny house constructed from 35,000 plastic bags sourced from Bali's polluted rivers.

The interior and furniture in the house, such as bedframe and kitchen cabinets, were also fully made of plastic cups and straws waste, Bencheghib said.
