Description: Zanzibar has a growing tourist industry, but with this brings problems of waste and the lack of recycling facilities means areas of land are being polluted and dumped on. Six young Dutch designers and a group of local crafts people worked together to make a collection of sellable products using glass waste, with the ultimate goal being to use more of the glass waste to create recycled construction materials.
