Alice Potts has combined food waste with flowers from London parks to create a series of Bioplastic Face Shields which will be shown at the NGV Triennial at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia
Potts made the face shields, which she claims are biodegradable, from food waste collected in London as an alternative to the many items of personal protective equipment (PPE) that are made from single-use plastic.
