Made by Destruction

Each episode of “Made By Destruction” follows the transformation of three objects from around the world as they are destroyed and then rebuilt to create some unexpected, and sometimes mind-blowing, results. A company in Germany collects milk from dairies and supermarkets to create a silk-like thread called “milk fiber,” which is then spun and sewn into stylish dresses. In Canada, plastic bags are recycled into new usable pellets that are then crushed into a powder and mixed with asphalt to pave roads. The resulting blend lowers the asphalt’s working temperature and its energy price tag.
