SoFTI – coral imitation made of recycled plastic material
The SoFTI coral is made from waste plastic packaging, a material developed by Interzero Plastics Innovations from waste plastic bottles. A uniquely designed coral. To preserve coral ecosystems for future generations, for a world without waste. The coral imitation represents a small symbol of our #ZEROWASTE vision for a waste-free tomorrow, for a day when we internalize the awareness that waste is a very valuable raw material from which we can also create works of art. And when we understand the importance and success of combining the economic sector with the artistic one.
