recycling by making new product
Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.
Making something new out of something old is another way to reuse a thing. Thanks Rob for sending over Recycled Waders. they take old fly fishing waders and make wallets, messenger bags and other things out of them. I love this idea, not sure it is a big business. This is one step beyond just making a messenger bag out of fabric spun from recycled PET bottles like the Fleurville bag. My favorite recycled messenger bag is the one from Alchemy Goods made from old bike innertubes.
