Take out these glasses when Glenn Beck comes by for a beer, or your roommate’s Tea Party buds pop by and let the fun begin.  Good for an upcycled laugh.  Of course with all these Russian spy busts you may be putting yourself at risk…

These eco-friendly glasses are made from recycled Leninade soda bottles.  Each glass is individually flame cut and polished to give you a smooth finished rim.

$25 for 4 glasses @ the YAVA Glass Etsy shop

Japan’s Miso Soup Design has been doing some very nice work with recycled materials for quite some time now.  The ‘Formula’ chair, made from recycled material that they call Eco-Resin, requires only 16 sq. ft. of resin and has a one-piece, uni-body construction that requires no hardware or glues.

The super-efficient manufacturing process produces minimal waste – doesn’t appear that comfortable but it does look  great.
