Made by Destruction

Expired rail tracks are processed into sheets and finally a luxury SUV, discarded laundry detergent containers are re-manufactured into parking pads, and a blacksmith crafts a vehicle spring into a replica 16th-century sword.

Aluminum ladders are turned into an oil tanker; cardboard boxes are shredded and compressed into fire logs; maple skateboard decks are pressed, laminated and shaped into an electric guitar body.

Beer bottles are ground into eco-smart concrete and cast in a wooden form to create a fireplace mantle; bike tire inner tubes are sewn into rubber panels to craft a weather-proof messenger bag; denim jeans are shredded to produce home insulation.

Ironing boards are melted down to be assembled into an innovative medical stretcher; fluorescent light bulbs are pulverized and blended with concrete to create an outdoor fountain; hockey sticks are turned into a coffee table.

Day-old bread becomes an ingredient in an award-winning beer; propane tanks are turned into guitar strings; bug-infested ash trees become lightweight canoes.

Melting down confiscated guns into cufflinks; worn-out ski boots get reborn as a flute; wheelchairs become stainless steel beer kegs.

Bullet cartridges are turned into grill burners; an electric piano becomes a bicycle bell; cardboard tissue boxes are used to create build-it-yourself boom boxes.

Milk jugs become the body of an all-terrain vehicle; dried-up markers become shingles; retired jet engines are transformed into lounge chairs.

Dehydrating surplus mangoes to make an innovative fruit leather; plastic foam cups get reborn as bicycle helmets; recasting worn-out faucets into a bronze statue.

A bicycle is transformed into cast-iron cookware; juice cartons are pressed into service as wall panels; plastic water bottles are knitted into sportswear.

Recasting radiators as a bathtub; baking bottle caps into a sustainable skateboard deck; transforming broken windows into beer bottles.

Weaving old fishing nets into yarn for carpet tiles; vinyl records turn into eyeglass frames; a pet's cremated ashes turn into a glass memorial vase.

Weaving old fishing nets into yarn; re-forming organic waste from coffee roasting into a bio resin; cutting up skateboard decks and sanding them into a wood mosaic to create a one-of-a-kind watch.
