Those odds and ends of unrecyclable plastic like milk bottle tops and bread bag tags littering your kitchen could one day be used to 3-D print a new washer or machinery part. That day is still a wee way off, but right now Christchurch woman Anthea Madill is working on a small project, collecting up those plastic bits and pieces to create useful items, such as planters and even jewellery. She spoke to RNZ Christchurch reporter Rachel Graham.
