Repurposing Chips and Candy Bags Into Speakers
Filed Under: Environmental News on October 29, 2009
A company called TerraCycle in New Jersey is turning candy and chips bags, such as Cheetos, Mars, Doritos, etc., into speaker boxes for portable music players.
TerraCycle is a waste collection company in NJ and recycles much of what it collects. Some of what is not easily recycled can be Upcycled,” and this is one example of many of the products the company makes. They make speakers, backpacks, pencil cases, and over a hundred products using repurposed garbage.
Founded by Tom Szaky, TerraCycle sells their wares online, in venues like Radio Shack, etc. The speakers, for instance, plug into any 3.5mm audio plug and don’t need any batteries.
That’s pretty cool.
