At Trend Hunter, we're obsessed with eco innovation. In particular, we get our smile on whenever we see garbage recycled into art. It seems that every week there's a new addition to this category. As a result, we've compiled 50 of our favorite uses for garbage in this super gallery. Enjoy!
Implications - The use of recycled materials in art adds something more than artistic value, it adds an element of social responsibility to a piece that today's eco-conscious audience will appreciate. The success of the green movement can not be ignored, and companies who acknowledge and participate in this mass environmental concern are sure to gain positive brand recognition.
