Recycling is slowly becoming a more regularly done activity in America, whether it is collecting your newspapers only or attempting to recycle as many things as you can and being very environmentally aware. There are many ways to recycle too. You can have a recycling company to pick up your items that can be recycled each week or you can reuse things like store bags or to go bags to go shopping again or you can have a business that reuses certain things to produce a brand new item to sell. This article will follow some of these businesses that take one product and reuse or recycle them into making handbags or purses.
The 1st group is known as Envirosax and is embracing the idea of reusing products to turn them into something else that can be sold and used. Not only do they do this by using plastic bottles and other recyclable plastics and turning that into fabric, but they are then creating bags and totes that can be used for shopping rather than using a shops plastic bags. So, the company focuses on the importance of being more environmentally aware by developing a type of polyester material from the plastic bottles which is strong, durable and perfect to use as a shopping bag. They have produced fun colors and designs for their bags making them very attractive to consumers.
Another iteam that is being recycled by different handbag designers are fire hoses that are no longer safe to use by firefighters. One of the 1st ones to do this are Elvis + Kresse who not only create gorgeous handbags from fire hoses but they donate 50% of the profits made from these bags to firefighter charities. Another group who refers to themselves as art-eco tying in artistic creativity with eco conscious behaviors is ISSI, who also create purses from fire hose materials. The bags have catchy titles like “Girl on Fire” as well giving it a fun twist on the concept. Lothar Gotz is a German artist who has made many purse designs from these recycled fire hoses and some of his pieces are now selling for thousands of dollars and have become the hot trend in the fashion industry.
Another creative concept is done by the business named GG2G which stands for Green Goods 2 Give and Get and they have used old vinyl billboards, bicycle tires and old vintage fabrics to create a variety of different handbags and purses. The owners of this company are Alison Grieveson and Dayan Moore who have made being eco friendly a hip new part of being fashionable.
The last environmentally friendly purse designer, is called Littlearth and they have created several types of cute purses from old license plates of all products. They wrap the license plates around hubcaps and then use recycled rubber for the handles and recycled bottle caps for the clasps. They come in a variety of fun designs and have become a big hit.
