It's truly amazing what can be created out of industrial waste and other kinds of scrap metal: Things we can wear, sit on, use, display, and admire.
This amazing collection of eco-friendly creations includes everything from salvaged metal bridal bouquets and recycled steel fire pits to junkyard aliens and hubcap sculptures.
The variety of ways in which metal trash can be transformed into treasure is awesome!
Implications - Green-minded individuals are looking for new and inventive ways to protect the Earth. Materials that have previously been thought of as strictly for other uses are now being integrated into the world of fashion. Organizations that are looking to grow their audience could find alternative functions for items that would otherwise be thrown out.
