Milk Jugs Into Lawn Furniture

Here's a good one for your Sunday. Someone is taking milk jugs and recycling them into lawn furniture. Pretty good idea, though not exactly DIY.

Two companies, notNeutral and Loll Designs, teamed up to create this unique stuff. They're calling them the BBQ2 collection. Fitting, since their target market are probably vegans. Just a guess, though. I never said this blog was PC. :)

The table and chair sets are available in a variety of colors and don't actually look recycled. In fact, they look like rather ordinary Wal-Mart lawn furniture. The kind you buy for the kids so they can trash it. I think the word "contemporary" is how they describe this style.

Nearly every bit of the furniture is made from recycled HDPE (high density polyethylene), which is the plastic used in milk jugs, detergent bottles, and that kind of stuff.

The companies say that for every pound of furniture, there's roughly eight recycled milk jugs. Plus, the furniture itself is 100% recyclable (the non-recycled bits are stainless fasteners, which are imminently re-usable--ask any home tinkerer).

So there ya go. Eco-chic!
