Island Conversations #42 Upcycle Hawaii with Mattie Mae Larson

With Hawaii County no longer recycling plastics, what’s to be done? Entrepreneur Mattie Mae Larson started Upcycle Hawaii more than a year ago, to take flat (sheet) plastics, such as plastic wrapping materials, and turns that plastic into zipper bags, handbags, jewelry, and more. We learn about her work in a conversation with host Sherry Bracken. You may find out more about Mattie Mae and her Go Fund Me efforts at UpcycleHI.com
