upcycled record business card holder
You can find your own Tina Turner or Kenny Rogers records and upcycle them into a business card holder.

Israelis are coming around and getting into the recycling spirit. We couldn’t hold ourselves back from posting again on Groovy, the designers who have designed a multi-purpose matkot chair.

Today’s find is a record business card holder.

While records are pretty much obselete in this part of the world (unless you are a DJ), business cards aren’t.

Update 2021: maybe better keep the records for listening. Going analogue has a charm of its own and records are worth more in one piece than cut up as a card holder.

Waste Reform from the Ground Up: How Trash Balers Are Helping Cities Rethink Sustainability

0
If you’ve ever watched a recycling truck weaving through city streets, you’ve seen the problem firsthand. Most of what we call “recycling” still depends on long-distance transportation and centralized sorting facilities.
