The head of our local community garden identified a need to beautify the garden and thought that the recycled plastic panels that we make could be a great addition as a mural on one of their retaining walls. For this project, over 250 pounds of recycled plastic panels that we installed in the community garden. This project was funded by the Neighborhood Council LA 32 as their first initiative to fight plastic pollution and homelessness.
