What is one to do when they have a love to both cameras, and recycling the old to create the new? Just ask Craig Arnold, leader of the re:vision project, which takes old camera parts, and recycles them into wearable accessories. Using old cameras to refocus (lol, puns) on a new product allows for the ancient parts to be used ...

Technically, our recyclables are supposed to be divided into metal, paper, plastic, and others. Usually they just wind up in a vaguely spaced pile which seems to be separated by a coincidence. The Barcode Trashcan allows you to simply scan your soon-to-be recycled items, at which point a built-in computer figures out what material that barcode corresponds to, and ejaculates ...

There was a time where people who resided in boxes or old shipping containers were known as hobos or murder victims (and perhaps both). The Illy Push Button House is an entire living quarter built inside of an old cargo shipping container. Press a button and 90 seconds later your home is revealed, folded out from the container. Even more ...

While it seems I barely ever have a CD jewel case to spare, it seems some people actually have an over abundance of the cases. If you are one of these people, here is a cool way to make a chandelier from the empty cases, rather than just chucking them in the trash. But what to do with the CD’s ...

These guys really love their CDs. So much so, that they have made a wardrobe out of them. What looks to be CD armor, these guys have put together some gear out of recycled compact discs (might spark flames if you sit too fast on the CD chair). I strongly suggest not wearing this out in public unless you want ...

These toys made by Sang Won Sung (not to be confused with twin brother Sing Two Singing), are made from bits of other recycled toys (and some assorted household objects), creating odd, and sometimes eerie looking toy models. The two boys pictured above are aptly named “bull” and “elk”, both of their faces made with the recycled torso of a ...

If you have ever lived in a suburban neighborhood, you know how obsessive people can be about their lawns. You can hear your neighbors outside at 2 a.m. whispering words of encouragement to their plants. It borders on lunacy really. If you are one of these people, but you lack the funds to get a proper sprinkler, about $5 and ...

Sure, art of this caliber produced entirely out of recycled aluminum cans is impressive. But think of all the time it takes. What kind of social life can artist Jack Kirby have when he takes three years and 5,000 empty cans of Budweiser to make a life size model of a 1965 Ford Mustang? Plus, that’s almost five beers a ...

Here’s a really cool product concept that even I, a lowly geek, has thought about from time to time. Have you ever found yourself wondering what a certain product might have been in its previous form? Remarkable is a line of products that integrates the recycled announcement directly into the design of the product. A ruler that projects “I was ...

This isn’t the first use of a recycled Boeing that we’ve seen, but it’s almost positively the most effective use of one other than using it as an actual jet. The Cosmic Muffin is actually a rare Boeing 307 stratoliner that has been converted into a luxury yacht with all the fixings. The Muffin can travel at speeds of nearly ...
