Re-cycling-New Use 1: Machine Coffee Pods

There´s a huge trend nowadays of owning a coffee expresso machine at home. Very convienint for coffee lovers, without the hassle of having to go to the around the corner coffee shop. I don´t drink expressos, only in very rare occasions, mostly more for social reasons than really liking the taste or the afterwards tummy cramps. So I am quite against the type of waste produced by this product... millions of discarted coffee pods. My mum once got a necklace made with this, she thought it was very clever and diferent but i never saw her wearing it!


Rachel Rodwel an aussie designer upcycles used coffee pods into fabric. She was inspired by a  trip to Kerala in India, where she witnessed the locals repurposing waste materials such as coconut fiber into everything from rope to paddle-powered houseboats. “I wanted to create an unconventional range that challenges preconceived notions of sustainable textiles,I wanted to use something that already exists and would have otherwise been wasted.
