 TerraCycle Urban Art Pot Fuses Graffiti With Recycled Computer Parts Published: Jan 9, 09 Views: 3,683 TerraCycle’s eco-friendly plant pots are comprised of 100% used computer parts; their TerraCycle Urban Art Pot adds the design talents of graffiti artists for a flower pot that has some serious street cred. Since each pot in the TerraCycle Urban Art Pot line is individually designed, no two are the same. This makes for a beautiful and eco-friendly addition to your decor. You can see how the TerraCycle pots are made below, and meet one of the street artists in the video above.  What's interesting about e-waste is that it's like 30 different polymers together. And typically, recycling centers have trouble recycling a bunch of different polymers. [W]e created a method where we could take used--or all sorts of mixed polymers and make it into a finished product. And that first started by us launching a pot, and we created the graffiti pot where all these inner city artists painted these plastic pots made from crushed computers, and that became the TerraCycle Urban Art Pot
