The UK generates approximately 5.4 million tonnes of paper and cardboard packaging waste annually.

 

‘Carpe diem’ is the motto of the city of Leeds, and the owl is our symbol. I have made this artwork from all my packaging waste, from egg boxes to parcel boxes. We should all ‘seize the day’ and make something from recycled material instead of throwing it away – we would be ‘wise’ to do so.
