    Crisp packets have never looked so cool! The designs are made from factory second bags destined for the landfill, which are in effect doubly wasteful as they never even got to hold the crisps! Carefully woven by hand and shaped into colour matched designs, more than 700 packets are woven into one of our cool waste paper baskets. The packets are folded identically to create recurring patterns and colours.The base is made of wood or recycled plastic cartons to give each waste bin stability, and to help retain its shape. Recycling has never been so effective and so desirable…

    These products are made in conjunction with two Mexican charities dedicated to educating on recycling, sustainable resources and skills training for vulnerable groups. They are all created by hand from factory second crisp packets, can ringpulls and recycled car tyres by women's groups, environmentalists and a prisoner skills training group.
