Sorting Plastic from the Beach

A volunteer sorts washed plastic collected from the beach into buckets by color and size.
(Washed Ashore)
A volunteer sorts washed plastic collected from the beach into buckets by color and size. Washed Ashore uses all but around 5% of the plastic volunteers collect from the beaches in its sculptures. Some of the plastic is so degraded by waves and light while floating in the ocean that it isn't strong enough to be used in sculpture.
