Project Vortex: Ocean Debris into Art

Project Vortex is an start-up non-profit collective of artists who salvage and reuse debris rescued from the ocean, turning it into beautiful art. While the result is aesthetic, the goal is to both implement a system to reallocate reclaimed material AND raise awareness about how much non-biodegradable waste ends up in our oceans.  They are currently building a global database of participants and partnering with clean up efforts worldwide.
