DIY, what is it?
DIY ( do it yourself ) is a concept that aims to make products, objects or clothing by your own means using new or recycled materials (which will be our case).
You can use DIY to give objects a second life, if you want to substitute chemical beauty products for natural products, or if you like manual work.
How is it useful?
This concept can reveal many ecological advantages: we no longer throw away, we reuse. But also economic advantages: replacing industrial objects/products with others that are more natural can cost less, while recycling old objects limits the act of purchase and the carbon impact for the planet.
