PET art

“From trash to treasure”

1:45 min ONE:17OUT OF ROUTINE

Where PET is concerned, lightweighting, production output, recyclate ratios and energy consumption are all hot topics. This is the level of PET that we are all familiar with, the level of technology and economic efficiency. But if we look at the end of the PET value added chain, apart from recycling, PET can reach another, entirely new level of existence: art.

Waste and valuable materials are often one and the same thing, explains Herta Wimmer-Knorr, object artist and sculptor. This was her realisation upon cleaning out the apartment of a compulsive hoarder. Her conscience has had a strong effect on her art. Due to her ecological attitude, she has always felt guilt-ridden whenever something was to be thrown away.
