Upcycled Inner Tubes

Ilanit Neutra Uses Discarded Car Tires to Create Eco Accessories

Ilanit Neutra explores various forms of art including graphic design, industrial art, styling and set design. Through her passions and exploration, Neutra came up with a way to preserve the environment by using inner car tubes to create handbags, purses, wallets, sketchbooks and binders.

Instead of tossing away tires, which are made of non-recyclable material, Ilanit Neutra reuses them. The material is soft, pleasant to touch and full of character with unique markings.

Implications - While economic times remain fairly uncertain, companies would be smart to use cost-effective methods such as recycling to create new products. This use of recycled fashion allows businesses to expand and make a profit while employing a limited amount of monetary resources.
