Vacs From The Sea by Electrolux

Vacs From The Sea is an initiative of  Electrolux to raise awareness of the huge amount of plastic waste in the oceans by deploying teams to collect some of it and turn it into a series of vacuums.

Designers produced units that contain 70 percent recycled materials found in 5 oceans. The one-off designs will be used to promote ocean clean-up efforts.

The Recycled Wallet

The slim Holstee wallet design holds the essentials – cash, credit cards and even has a sliding window for your ID and Metro card. Working with a family-run non-profit based in India that works to collect and recycle litter off the streets of Delhi they were able to create their dream wallet.

This vegan (!) wallet is made primarily of plastic bags and newspapers, collected off the Streets of Delhi in India. Production of this wallet helps reduce waste in Delhi, provides fair wage employment and subsidizes healthcare and education for each employee’s family. Their packing is a minimal slide insert made of (at least) 90% recycled material.
