My invention is called The Plastic UFO Sucker (TPUS), it is a UFO shaped machine that orbits the atmosphere and sucks up and plastic debris floating in the air. Every month, TPUS will send the plastic debris it has collected back to Earth. On Earth, there will be facilities that generate and merge the tiny plastic debris into a thin but durable material that people can wrap around their single-use items, making it reusable! Also, there will be many different colours and sizes of the thin layer for different items! This invention is for anyone that wants to help our planet and reuse plastic!

Great work Kaitlyn! What a clever thought to collect the plastic waste in our atmosphere and come up with a product that reuses and recycles it. I like that you have even thought of different ways to make the recycled plastic wrap more interesting - like colouring it! I wonder what other products the waste plastic could be made into? Nice work Little Inventor - send us some more ideas :)
