We asked our readers to send in their best pictures on the theme of "recycled". Here is a selection of the photographs we received from around the world.
John Janssen: "In Marrakech an artisan creates various objects from discarded car tyres. Not easy work."
Sandra Moreton: "My husband made our garden insect house from recycled materials, reusing wooden pallets. We filled it with leftover DIY materials, bamboo sticks from the garden, pinecones collected from local walks, etc. A recent addition are the two bricks we found washed up on a beach near Southwold, where coastal erosion meant they had demolished a row of houses. I love the way the tide has rounded the edges of the bricks and the holes are filled with sand."
Ian Knight: "Eye Spy, a recycled piece of art in Newcastle under Lyme town centre. Created from recycled bottles collected by the local community and school children, the art was sponsored by a local opticians."
Nicholas Safstrom: "Creating something new from something already used. The Trail of a Thousand Trolls that are all made from recycled wood by Thomas Dambo."
Philip Jackson: "Our rescue cat Sidney is never one to pass on an opportunity to recycle using this box as a shelter from the heat of the day."
Glyn Hands: "These plastic bottles had been repurposed as a canopy for a float for this year's Gracia street festival in Barcelona. People of all ages were helping with the construction and decoration, it looked like a real community effort."
Spike Reid: "A London bus hit my bicycle while it was locked to a lamppost. The brake disc was bent beyond repair, but I kept it and stuck some old lighting gels to it. Today it hangs in my window, and I call it a daydream catcher."
Alex Barton: "An old, damaged book turned into a hanging decoration. Working in a library I get to recycle pages from quite a few books that are no longer fit for purpose."
Davina Isham: "My mum and uncle used to play with some of the toys when they were kids."
Christy Perer: "In the biology teacher's classroom, I found this and took a shot. She used some socks, plastic cups, soil and old plastic eyes. The onion grew well. Kids loved it."
Sue Norton: "Using comfrey leaves to make a natural garden fertiliser."
Neil Marsden: "Sometimes it's the simplest of tasks that can make the most difference. Picking up and recycling litter can make a real difference to the environment but sadly the message doesn't always get through."
Chris Roberts: "Green energy - reusing an old Trabant as a flower pot - at a cafe near Aber Falls, North Wales."
Anne Bostwick: "This musician has been reduced to recycling his songs as well as himself."
Simon Cowley: "A old postman's bike given a new role in advertising on the side of a pub."
Harriet Parr: "After finding a box of ties at my local scrap store, I decided to have a play around and came up with this dress."
Alex Mackintosh: "When you can't go out and photograph, stay in. I used a model railway figure and a drink can to create this image. You never know, he might catch something."
Barbara Sankey: "Walking near Airlie Beach, Australia, I found this random sculpture made from discarded flip flops and plastic water bottles."
The next theme is "reflections" and the deadline for entries is 12 September 2023.
