Thanks for all the positive comments. Just to clarify – all the bottles are post-consumer waste so all the main materials for the boat are recycled and recyclable. No virgin bottles were used.
All the best

Sure, the fiberglass-like material is recycled, but It seems like the pressurized bottles should also be recycled – not just recyclable. It looks as though they used virgin bottles, and the text doesn't indicate otherwise. This project would be more palpable if the recycled material was more evident – along the lines of different colored bottles or whatnot.

This is not exactly recycling, rather decoration.

Finally some people who live and react NOW.
The first thing seen here with a fresh and new thought.
Thanks for inspiring me.

This is a really an incredible challenge. Not so much words but real action, more than a drop of water in the ocean,to show what is possible with imagination and how most of us do it the wrong way : waste of energy and oversized garbage ! Congratulation to the team !
