Recycling Chewing Gum Litter to Clean Our Streets
Designer Anna Bullus is on a mission to recycle chewing gum into useful objects, cleaning up our streets in the process.
More than $20bn is spent on chewing gum around the world each year. A lot of that gum will end up stuck to the streets. That's why gum is the second most common kind of street litter after cigarette materials. In the UK councils spend around 拢50m each year cleaning up the mess. But British designer Anna Bullus had an idea - what if the sticky stuff could actually be recycled and turned into useful objects?
