Re-use / Up-cycle Research

I looked at different ways people had already re-used certain objects creatively that otherwise would have been recycled or thrown away, to give me inspiration and ideas for my own container design. I particularly like how you can create beautiful decorations for your home using 'rubbish' such as bottles and toilet tubes, and especially the varying decorations you could make with used light bulbs. Also, functional items can be made from 'rubbish' as well such as the bag made from lolly pop sticks and the storage pots made of tins. You can also give back to nature like Dominoes Pizza have with their pizza box birdhouse design.
