There is something good and green to be said about re-using items we all have around our house. Make do, use it up, or up-cycle those things that are too good to drop in the trash bin. I remember making a few pencil holders out of the frozen orange juice concentrate containers. Simple, but useful.
The growing trend in green living and design is just what is happening with Hipcycle. They are dedicated to selling innovative, stylish, and affordable upclycle products. Launched in October 2011, Hipcycle is taking something that would have otherwise been thrown in tho the trash bin and transforming it into something of greater use and value.
“Our goal is to bring the marketplace for upcycled products closer to the mainstream consumer,” said Andrew Sell, Founder and Chief Hipcycler. “Rather than only targeting people who are highly environmentally conscious, we want to reach the broader population. Hipcycle features a curated variety of products that are stylish and functional, and that also happen to be environmentally friendly.”
Many of the 500+ products featured on Hipcycle.com are made in the U.S. while others are purchased through a commitment to fair-trade practices. Products can be searched for by purpose (i.e., home, garden, office) or by original material (i.e., wood, fabric, glass). Hipcycle also prides itself on telling the story behind the product, from its creator to its provenance.
As it expands into new categories, Hipcycle welcomes contact from potential designers and vendors. Learn more at hipcycle.com
You can also follow them in all the popular social media outlets from their site. Read their blog, subscribe to their newsletter, and view cool upcylced products for your home. This is a company in Ocean, New Jersey.
