Using the logic that everything can be recycled into something new, Japanese underwear manufacturer Wacol recently launched a bra recycling campaign. The collected bras were processed and recycled into solid fuel.
The company explains:
“From February to April, we distributed plastic bags to our customers in the hope that they would bring them back full of their old used bras. We have since received 350 bags and around 35,900 items,” indicated the company’s public relations department.
The amount collected, if hooked together, would be three times the height of Mt Everest. Total weight, approximately 3.59 tons.

Designer Joey Roth arrived at the Javits center for the NY Gift Fair last week with some of his products, a Japanese hand saw, and a sketchbook. While other vendors bought crates and pallets full of stuff for their booth displays, Joey instead decided to go about constructing his booth at the show in a unique manner &#8211; by using the scraps from the other booths . PSFK tagged along with Joey as he built his booth and we documented the process and result.

Where some people see crisis, others see opportunity. The three partners of Super Cool Market, a new clothing store in the Vila Madalena neighborhood in São Paulo, fall into the latter category .
The business model (which drew inspiration from the Buffalo Exchange) may not be new, but makes a lot of sense: premium clothes at a reasonable price, which can get even more affordable if you’re willing to trade in some of your own clothes.

It&#8217;s hard to tell from the outside, but this beautiful home in Quebec was built with seven recycled shipping containers.  This 3,000 square foot home cost just $175,000 to build and was designed by Bernard Morin and Joyce Labelle from Maison Idekit Homes.  They specialize in building homes from a shipping container base and claim that the building time can be reduced to as little as a week and save a significant amount of money.  A chalet built with just three shipping containers runs about $45,000 and can be customized to the home-owner&#8217;s specifications.

A new website called AltUse compiles alternative uses for everyday things, utilizing crowd-sourcing to build some engaging ideas to save money or recycle aging products.  The site allows you to search for items like vinegar and pull together dozens of possible uses for an extra stockpile you may have.
