HIGH, WITH A LOT OF INDUSTRIAL UNITS ARE ON THE RISE. THERE IS LOT OF
MATERIAL USE, FOR COMMON UTILITY, AND OTHER COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. WITH
THE USE THERE IS A LOT OF WASTAGE TOO. THERE ARE A LOT OF BYPRODUCTS, ETC.
LOOKING AT THE WASTE, ONE CAN ONLY HOPE FOR A RE-USE OR DISPOSAL. AT BUT
AT THIS JUNCTURE, A LITTLE BIT OF CREATIVITY COMES TO THE RESCUE, NOT
ALWAYS THOUGH, EXCLUDING THE HAZARDOUS WASTE.
DOWN THE HISTORY 'ART', HAS BEEN ALWAYS A WAY OUT TO TURN THINGS INTO
SOMETIMES BEAUTIFUL, SOMETIMES USEFUL OBJECTS, NOT ALWAYS FOR UTILITY
PURPOSE, BUT FOR BEAUTIFICATION, OR FOR AESTHETIC PLEASURE TOO.
