To be created in the Pacific between San Francisco and Hawaii, the Recycled Island would be 4,000-miles² of plastic land with communities build on top.
North Pacific Gyre plastic will be used to build the island by repurposing it into floating platforms.
Whim Architecture told plasticbank: "This will clean our oceans intensely and it will change the character of the plastic waste from garbage to building material."
The island will be constructed as a green living environment from the point of view of a natural habitat and compost toilets are used for creating fertile ground.
