Here's a clever design idea from the Netherlands which recycles rubber print waste into bags and other funky carrying products. Stugbags salvage the rubber 'blankets' used as a backing for all sorts of graphic print items and which are then discarded by printers after use. A natural felt lining is added and hey presto - a new colourful, unique bag or laptop holder is born ready for you to carry your stuff in - brilliant! Check out the fab minimal packaging too.Sourced from: greenUPGRADER, 22Jul08
"“Promoting the waste=food principle”
Stug Bags use reclaimed rubber to construct their multipurpose line. Rubber printing blankets are commonly found in the offset printing business where the rubber is a coating over a compressible substance and is used to transfer ink to the printing surface. Using this material Stug then manufactures a variety of bag types
using natural felt lining. Each bag is unique with different ink characteristics left on the rubber surface from the last time they were used in the press."More info: Stugbags
