In the “Handmade” section of Gift Fair we noticed another example of a product made from used packaging. Gecko Trading re-purposes woven propylene rice bags to make its line of Eco-Weekender bags and accessories.
A similar recycled, pop fashion to the bags made from candy wrappers that were so popular a couple of years ago, but these bags are presumably less labor-intensive to make.

I've seen these bags and others like them I think they represent a good solid example of making smart use of materials and giving things like packaging a second life. There are a number of companies doing work like this now which is encouraging and good to see.
