keep the beach clean and your hair messy
Love. Not Waste.
At Love Not Waste, we are happy activists, spreading the word on how plastic waste can turn into brand new products. We want to show you, surprise you, make you smile. That's why we showcase great sustainable brands, organize beach clean ups and fuel projects like Recky the Recycled Racket Machine and The Million Dollar Store. It's a bright plastics future!
