EcoFactor: A bunch of nifty items made out of recycled materials.
With increasing eco-hype more and more people are stressing on staying eco-friendly, re-using products and choosing the “green” path. No-doubt that recycling is good for our planet, but people usually deem recycled products as ugly. We all know it’s good for the environment but still consider it unsightly. Well, this article aims at altering that notion, if not change it completely. Here at Ecofriend, we provide you a wide range of re-used designs, so there is something to fascinate each and everyone.
Pen Chandelier
Going by the name I’m sure is unheard of, but that’s where the creativity kicks in, my friends. If you possess hundreds of pens just like me, then you should try making this yourself. I guarantee no one will guess it’s made out of pens at one glance, unless they are staring really hard at the picture!
Skateboard Chair and Table:
Another brilliant way of designing useful furniture instead of using expensive and scarce wood! Just pick an old skateboard (polish it for the shine) and create something wacky. I personally don’t like the chair but the table looks awesome. The designer has used skateboards on top and the bottom is made from recycled plastic. Clever indeed, I highly recommend you to try this at home.
Bathtub Couch
The guys at Reestore have found an awesome way to redesign your old boring bathtubs into an elegant sofa. You really have to see it to believe it!
The Tyre Table
Andrew Greg is a genius! Who else could come up with such a “twisted” idea? Seriously, he actually uses twisted bike tires and manages to convert it into a breathtaking table. Pure awesomeness, I say!
CD Chair
You know those CDs you throw away because they are damaged or don’t serve you any purpose? Well, designer Belen Hermosa really knows how to make good use of them. This gorgeous chair certainly is an indicator of “out of the box” thinking!
The Shopping Cart Chair
It’s a brilliant example of how waste materials can be reused. Usually, the unaligned market trolleys serve no purpose and are thrown out; this one cleverly uses those waste materials to create something comfy and usable for each home - a chair!
Recycled Tubelight
It’s strange how our typical tube lights can be re-arranged to create something absolutely stunning. A by-product of Castor Canadensis, this design has surely accomplished in converting a boring light into a sheer elegant masterpiece.
Lamponi Lamps
Re-using automobile spare parts to create lamp shades is so cool. Apart from being eco-friendly, they are extremely stylish. A really good deal, I’d say!
Washing Machine Table
The Silvana Washing Machine Table from Nigel’s Eco Store is a piece of furniture made from a recycled washing machine drum. The glass surface fits a low energy lightbulb transmitting an attractive glow. Who knew recycling could give out such stylish products?
Can Furniture
The crushed can furniture is one of my favorites. I mean I never thought something useful could come out of them. But I am proved wrong and I love it!
Cloth Furniture
Don’t you think it would be awesome if you could have a good use of those old clothes that you never want to wear? Well, here’s a solution. Just pile them to make a comfy seat; yes it’s that simple. This truly is an amazing and an excellent way to re-use!
Newspaper Basket
Majority of the waste comes from paper, so recycling newspapers helps each and everyone do our bit for the environment. Thus the newspaper basket serves as a multi-utility item for your house.
The whole point of this post is to give away something informative for the eco-lovers. Most of these products are DIY. So next time you have some free time, I suggest you try making one of these!
The Dark Side:
Only a moron would find defects in any of these extremely handy and “green” products.
