fused plastic shoes for everyone!

Last semester I was presented with the challenge of solving the problem of plastic bag waste. After much research, I came up the idea of turning plastic bags that would otherwise end up in the landfill into easily buildable, and repairable shoes. As it can be quite difficult to recycle plastic bags, it seems that UPcycling might be a better choice. As the life cycle of a plastic bag is extended it will help decrease the rate of plastic bag waste being thrown in landfills. The general population is also benefiting as they are able to build and repair their own footwear.
