Re-purposing

[patchoo78]

Looking around the net the past few days I have come across some really cool ways of re-using old resources.

The latest one I came across was this:

A company called Above+Below have teamed up with the London underground to make these shoes. The fabric is from old subway seats that have been recovered.  Each train line has it's own fabric so you can even pick your own favourite train line to wear as shoes.. 

They are sweat shop free, made with European labour. The uppers are made of restored London Underground seat covers and the trim is 100% recycled or re-purposed leather. The soles are recycled rubber tires.

What an awesome way to recycle!

What are some ideas for re-purposing you have seen? Share your pics 🙂
