It's not recycling, it's 'upcycling.' This latest environmentally-friendly craze involves taking recycled goods and making them into more interesting items. The items used include old Capri Sun containers, discarded packaging, and more to create lunch boxes, flower pots, and tote bags.
New Jersey's Terracycle is one such company making recycling into an 'upcylcing' adventure. Many people have decided that making their own tooth-paste bag takes far too much time, so they let Terracycle do it for them. On their site, they show off their 'consumer by-product' masterpieces.
Even if you're not into recycling, you might not resist bringing lunch to work in a bag made out something you ate out of yesterday! These kitschy designs make even the modest of recyclers into upcycling phenoms.
