Creative Recycling Glastonbury Festival 2023
Creative recycling will be at Green Futures Field at Glastonbury Festival again in 2023 with a new and original set of recycled exhibits. Come visit us and see Mole's Hill, Turt, Tramola, Sitolines and Sofalines and some old favourites like Buckethead.
Mole’s HillA geodesic dome made from cut rings of waste gas pipe. A plastic table for a door.

Turt
it’s a Turt not a Yurt, so a similar shape as a Yurt but made mainly from two pre-loved, redundant trampoline frames, bolted together. The roof utilises a plastic ring from a water barrel and the poles from the net enclosure of a trampoline.Click here to find out more about the construction
Tramola (a trampoline pergola)
Using the frames of two trampolines to make a new cylindrical frame, bolted together. Roof constructed out of the net enclosure poles and a bicycle wheel. Covered with a bounce mat to create shade and be showerproof.Click here to find out more about the construction

As Creative Recycling we love turning other peoples waste into fun and functional items.
BUT ideally everything that is manufactured should be able to return to the soil and compost – obviously this is wishful thinking and even if all new products were compostable we have a mountain of plastic that needs to be repurposed, reused, recycled over the next 1000 years.
Manufacturers can be encouraged to make sure that they are responsible for the end of the life of the their product, for example with trampolines they should provide a means where you can return your redundant trampoline to the manufacturer.
With pink plastic flamingos, why create them in the first place and we as consumers need to seriously consider whether we need this Environmentally Unfriendly product.
