Radio Designed to Recycle

This cardboard radio is the production model inspired by the project Environmentally Sound, created by Irish designer, Chris McNicholl. You can get one here. The design of the radio harkens back to early AM/FM radios and its case is as chic as it is eco-friendly.

As it is made of cardboard, the case is entirely recyclable (maybe even compostable) so it cuts down on the waste from discarded consumer electronics that clutters up the world.  BP

SeanChron - Recycling on the Runway

I was pleased to see that, once again, recycling has made its way into Project Runway. I'm a sucker for any skill-based reality tv show and Project Runway is one of my favorites. This season the designers had create garments from salvage car parts. As always, there were designs that were in and that were out. The winner was a trenchcoat made of golden seatbelt salvage.
