Considering that each year more than 500 billion single-use carrier-bags are used around the world, actually very few end up in any sort of recycling facility. So, apart from eliminating their use in the first place, we also need to keep finding innovate ways to reuse and repurpose this major blight on the environment.
Boston-based non-profit (and an all around amazing organization) Artists of Humanity (AFH) has created these amazing brightly colored ReVision bar stools - each made from 200 plastic bags that are melted into plastic lumber. Using a combination of various types of bags, the ReVision stool was designed by Jamison Sellers, from AFH, and then created by inner city youth in the USA.
The stools sell for US$400 (€280).
To find out more about the range of amazing projects organized by Artists of Humanity and the work they are doing with inner city kids – ranging in scope from graphic design, photography, sculpture and through to painting projects – visit their website.
