It's great to rethink and reimagine uses for materials we already have.

The cork is three times more expensive than typical cladding materials, but its dual use as an insulation layer succeeds in reducing overall building costs.

PostGreen Homes Are Using Cork as Cladding and Insulation PostGreen Homes are using cork as cladding in their newest project in Fishtown, Philadelphia. They are working in collaboration with Orange Concept on this project, and the finished home will be simple and minimalistic, which will make it fit right in with the other buildings in the area.

Researchers at Ludwig Maximilians Universitat have developed technology that uses photoelectric sensors to provide a more efficient method of sorting and recycling plastics.

With a flash of light, new technology automatically sorts plastics for recycling The technique developed by German researchers quickly identifies plastic types so that they can be more efficiently recycled.

It is encouraging to see events like PalletFest where recycled shipping pallets are repurposed for everything from art canvases to a pallet maze. This festival raises awareness about the short life-cycle of shipping crates, and how we can extend its longevity and usefulness with ingenuity.

Everything is built out of recycled pallets at the PalletFest upcycling festival The US' first upcycling festival is opening in Denver this weekend, featuring art, live music, upcycled fashion shows, and even pallet parkour.
