Last fall an outdoor exhibition The Urban Forest Project took root in New York City. One hundred eighty-five celebrated designers and artists levered the idea or form of the tree to make a powerful visual statement in banners displayed throughout Times Square.
“The tree is metaphor for sustainability, and in that spirit the banners from the exhibition are being recycled into totebags designed exclusively for the project by Jack Spade. Profits from the sale of the totebags benefit Worldstudio AIGA Scholarships and the AIGA/NY Mentoring Program to sustain the next generation of design talent.”

Interesting idea. I wonder if it really involves less processing than just recycling the bottles.
1 FaverViewed: 4 TimesQuoted: We sell brand new liquid soap packaged in old plastic soda bottles, plastic water bottles and glass beer bottles to help clean up our environment.
Each bottle is cleaned, sanitized and processed for reuse as packaging for your favorite brand of liquid soap. Big companies aren’t going to do this on their own. So, we’ll do it for them. We buy name brand liquid soap by the barrel and package it in old bottles here in America. - mike - Jul 16 20091 FaverViewed: 7 Times
