About Joining Bottles:
Joining Bottles is an alternative wood-joining technique using shrunk plastic bottles. By heat, a simple plastic bottle is transformed into a wood bonding material offering a meaningful and accessible way to build functional structures. Joining Bottles seeks to contribute to new beliefs based on what we, as individuals and communities, can do with what is available to us.
