# Sustainable Stone Decor The Bamboo Pebbles by Bambu is Fashioned from Leftovers By Meghan Young | Published 2010-05-07 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamboo-pebbles References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2010/05/bamboo-pebbles-turning-waste-into-value.html) & [designyearbook.blogspot](http://designyearbook.blogspot.com/2009/02/bamboo-pebbles.html) I love the idea of making something from leftovers (and I'm not talking about food sculptures or the like)--just take a gander at the Bamboo Pebbles. Previously I stumbled upon American Apparel's [Creative Reuse](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-apparel-creative-reuse) program, and now I have learned that Bambu has implemented a similar initiative. Essentially, these award-winning Bamboo Pebbles are handmade from leftover materials. As beautiful as Bambu's regular products, the Bamboo Pepples can be used in multiple ways: placed around the home, in the garden, in vases and more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Upcycling:** Explore the opportunity to create innovative products through upcycling leftovers. - **Eco-friendly Decor:** Design and market decor items made from eco-friendly materials to meet the increasing demand for sustainable living. - **Multi-functional Products:** Create products that can be used in multiple ways to provide more value to customers and reduce waste. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Brands can create sustainable and eco-friendly decor items like the Bamboo Pebbles to meet the rising demand for environmentally conscious home products. - **Gardening:** Products like the Bamboo Pebbles can be marketed to gardening enthusiasts as eco-friendly garden decor options. - **Artisanal Production:** Artisanal brands can explore upcycling leftover materials to create unique and sustainable products like the Bamboo Pebbles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Discarded Shoe-Created Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wu-series.md) - [Sustainable Creative Craft Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fyrn-studio-series.md) - [Stone Offcut Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvatori-precioso.md) - [Ceramic Waste Carafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sungai-carafe.md) - [Sustainable Wooden Natural Materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forestbank.md) - [Waste-Based Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecofriendly-furniture1.md) - [Orange Peel Waste-Made Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apeel.md) - [Handcrafted Stone Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-stool.md) - [Marble Fragment Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miscellaneous-side-table.md)
