Swiss company Recycline has taken a rather interesting PET bottle and turned it into a range of products, from newspaper racks to vases to napkin rings. They range in price from 6 to 120 swiss francs but no doubt the MAKE types will have them knocked off before Christmas.

Some of them are quite complex, with zippers and special connections; others couldn't be simpler. I will be looking a lot more closely at the PET bottles available in North America from now on. Do we have anything as attractive? Recycline via NOTCOT

Hyundai plans to recycle them into tough rustproof durable crashable car bodies in the near future and if Americans can still afford to drink sodas during the (GRD) great republican depression, a sorely doubted situation since most of them won't even have jobs! Brace yourself for the great societal crash of 2009! our asses are in the vice, Obama can't get the loans he needs and down she comes!
