Those plastic orange construction fences are brightly coloured because they are meant to catch your attention. Alas, they are also easily spotted as litter in fields and construction sites. Fortunately, some of it has been recycled to become ORNJ bags, really handy totes designed by Detroit based artisan, David Shock who focuses on [recycled materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shore) for his designs.

His ORNJ bags come in a few styles like the messenger and [tote brief](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-bags-for-essentials) besides the basic tote pictured. ORNJ liners made out of [100% recycled fabric](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roam-smart-tracker) are also available if you are likely to be carrying around smaller items or if they need cushioning.
