Recycling of products is an important part of a more sustainable society. We are likely to see much more innovative ways of recycling products in the years to come, as consumers get more aware and as resources get more expensive.
Check out Uliko, a tip from Annkathrin Lundqvist at Arctic Trend. This is a site focusing innovative, creative material design, and one of the strongest trends is upcycling. This means that a cheap product, or a product which is visibly worn and bruised is recycled into a product of higher value. A worn-out skateboard becomes an exclusive handbag. A couple of PET bottles becomes a cosmetics box, etc.
Cool, innovative, and a trend just started.
