McDonald's Netherlands unveils one of its latest projects with the Litter and Glamour collection, showcasing a new perspective on litter jewelry designs. The fast food giant takes customers' leftover waste and turns it into a new collection full of 14-karat jewelry.
The Litter and Glamour collection is made up of seven pieces in total and is aptly named as it takes the trash themes, including that of a French fry container, the iconic Big Mac box, or a finished drink by turning it into earrings and rings. The looks of the jewelry resemble the litter, including the pre-crushed look of it, creating a wrinkled and used theme to ultimately work towards the chain's ongoing environmental mission.
