Recycled plastic bottle jewelry that feel good at the planet
Trendy and ethical jewelry, made from waste.This is the successful bet of Virginie de Haldat.This former graphic designer, then responsible for solidarity in a school, has always been very committed to the protection of the environment."Respect for the earth, the living and the human is clearly in my DNA.Today, I am keen to transmit these values to adults but also to children, who are the citizens of tomorrow, "she explains.
Up to 7 pairs of earrings with a bottle
Combining speech with acts, Virginie has chosen to change her life, to be more in agreement with her convictions."By browsing the path from Compostela, this summer, I had the opportunity to reflect on my priorities and on the meaning of life in general.This introspection allowed me to refocus on my real desires and above all to find a new energy to achieve me otherwise, "she says.
Upon her return from pilgrimage, Virginie has undertaken to develop her own activity related to her personality and her philosophy."I wanted to put my creative and artistic sense at the service of the earth and nature," she added.An ambition today concrete.
For more than three months now, this young self-entrepreneur has indeed give a second life to used PET plastic bottles, by transforming them into ... earrings!"The plastic used for the manufacture of bottles is a recyclable material.However, still too few bottles are collected to be revalued, "deplores the designer.
To limit their ecological impact, Virginie thus recovers the materials it needs.The bottles are then cleaned, disinfected then finely cut and heated to the flame to take shape before the final assembly."Each bottle recovered allows me to create up to seven pairs of earrings.After a few hours of work, the bottle thus finds a new utility.My ecological approach then takes on its full meaning "she underlines.
And to give even more meaning to her creations, Virginie is inspired by nature itself."My earrings often take the shape of flowers or leaves.They are light, original, and each piece is unique "concludes the designer.
