Bottle Climate Change Environmental Issue Full Frame Industry Landfill Site Multiple Pile Plastic Recycling Rubbish Stacked Up Sustainable Development
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stack of chips made from recycled plastic bottles at the Weeco plastic recycling factory in the Athi River industrial zone near Nairobi, Kenya. Taken on May 15,2019, this image showcases the creative use of discarded plastic bottles to address environmental issues and combat climate change. The photograph highlights the innovative approach taken by Weeco in transforming rubbish into valuable resources. The chips made from these recycled bottles symbolize sustainable development and emphasize the importance of recycling for a greener future. The full frame composition allows us to witness the magnitude of this recycling site, with multiple stacks of bottles piled up high. It serves as a powerful reminder that our environment is plagued by excessive waste and landfill sites. Notably absent from this image are people, emphasizing that it is not just an individual's responsibility but rather a collective effort to tackle environmental challenges. This picture encourages viewers to reflect on their own consumption habits and consider how they can contribute towards preserving our planet. Photographer Baz Ratner skillfully captures both the scale of this issue and its potential solutions through his lens. His work prompts us to appreciate the beauty found within sustainability initiatives while urging us all to take action against plastic pollution.
