Although recycling may seem like a modern concept introduced with the environmental movement of the 1970s, it's actually been around for thousands of years. Prior to the industrial age, you couldn't make goods quickly and cheaply, so virtually everyone practiced recycling in some form. However, large-scale recycling programs were very rare -- households predominantly practiced recycling. Nowadays, the amount of materials that industrial design engineers can choose from to materialise their designs keeps increasing and this is for the better. Today we're witnessing the emergence of a new recycling trend, driven by the luxury design industry. The Republic of Moldova supports the industrial designers so they can develop the art of recycling all around the country. Some of the Moldavian influencers try really hard to be eco- friendly in order to encourage the rest of the population to have a careful attitude to nature.
