Pump Up the Recycled Jam
Innovative New Jersey-based company Terracycle has made a name for itself by collecting and recycling literally tons of trash into an ever-growing array of fun, unique consumer products, from plant food for gardeners to clocks, coasters, bags, office products and much more. These colorful speakers are made from discarded chip bags, and they don't require any additional power source (they are designed to plug directly into an MP3 player or other audio source).
Terracycle receives permission from every brand it repurposes, and it works with companies to collect their packaging and reduce waste, from boutique green businesses to the largest international brands. Check out the Frito-Lay speakers for $13.99 or the Skittles or Starburst boombox for $18.99.
