E-SOURCE BIKEElectrical and electronic waste (WEEE) is one of the fastest growing waste problems in the world. This type of waste is notoriously difficult to recycle and the UK illegallysends much of its own waste to huge dumps in Africa, where young people are employed to route through huge mounds to retrieve useful, recyclable components. Wattshas designed the Esource bike, a low-tech machine which separates wire and copper using an innovative water method, a process which is safer and provides moreeconomical results for the workers. This piece marks a new era for recycling, a welcome development in third world countries where the landfills are places of work.www.halwatts.co.uk
MONEY BOWLSLondon-based design duo Arthur Analts and Rudolph Strelis have given new life to thousands of pounds worth of uncirculated bank notes, recycling them into a series ofpapier-mâché bowls. Shredding the worthless notes obtained from the Bank of England, Analts and Strelis then bond the pieces together and coat the inside with white gelfor a clean contrast against the grey, flecked appearance created from the money.www.analts.com
