UniquEco: The flip-flop recycling company
Last week, we featured a wonderfully extra-terristrial looking ottoman made from hundreds of surplas flip-flops. Quite a feat of engineering I thought, but it turns out it's far from being a one-off.
UniquEco is a company that does nothing but make stuff out of old beach shoes -- and it turns out you can put them to a surprising number of uses: from jewellery to toys, sculptures and household accessories, they've found some really great ways to re-use the colourful plastic that would otherwise be discarded to damage land and sea.
Hi. My dad and I go through many pairs of foam flip flops every year. We still have all of them. Where do you get your recycled flip flops? We want to know of place where we can take ours. We are not crafty enough people to make necklaces out of ours.
