The Whale Keychain: A Touch of Sustainability from Karatsu
The 'Whale' keychain, a unique upcycled product made from 100% recycled PET bottle caps, is now available at the Mercure Saga Karatsu Resort's shopping plaza. This innovative keychain, crafted by the NPO Karatsu Farm & Food, showcases the beauty of biodiversity while promoting sustainable practices.
The inspiration behind 'The Whale' comes from a drawing created by children from Ogawa Island, which historically thrived as a whaling hub. The process of transforming used PET bottle caps into shiny, colorful little whales involves grinding the caps, melting them down, and pouring them into molds. Each keychain boasts its own unique pattern, ensuring that no two are alike, making them true one-of-a-kind pieces.
