Unique Gifts from Used Bike Parts – Resource Revival Redefines Recycling

Resource Revival Redefines Recycling

— December 14, 2008 — Eco
The clever artisan recyclers at Resource Revival craft clocks, picture frames, key chains, bowls, and even jewelry from discarded bicycle chains, gears and wheels. In doing so, they lighten the load going to landfills as well as the cost of unwanted parts disposal for cycling shops all over the United States.

The company holds the modest vision of a world built upon sustainability, flourishing commerce, renewable energy, and conscientious consumers who are mindful of where things come from.

I’d say that’s a worthy dream. Who knows? Maybe reusing bicycle parts is just the vehicle to get there!

If you happen to own a cycling shop and want to become a rebicycler, Resource Revival will pay shipping costs for the parts you send. This means you don’t have to pay to send stuff to the dump! If you aren’t a cycling shop, but want to find one that participates in the scheme, you can search for one by zip code.
Trend Themes
1. Upcycling - Resource Revival's use of discarded bike parts highlights the trend of upcycling, where waste materials are transformed into new products, creating value and reducing waste.
2. Sustainable Design - The creation of clocks, key chains, and other items from used bike parts exemplifies the trend of sustainable design, showcasing how products can be made from recycled materials while maintaining functionality and aesthetic appeal.
3. Circular Economy - Resource Revival's recycling efforts align with the circular economy trend, demonstrating how waste materials from one industry (cycling shops) can be repurposed and integrated back into the economy as valuable resources.
Industry Implications
1. Recycling - The recycling industry can leverage Resource Revival's approach to using discarded bike parts, creating new business opportunities in upcycling and sustainable product manufacturing.
2. Craft and Artisan - The craft and artisan industry can tap into Resource Revival's unique gift items made from used bike parts, offering consumers an eco-friendly and innovative alternative to traditional products.
3. Retail and E-commerce - The retail and e-commerce industry can explore partnerships with Resource Revival to offer their upcycled products, catering to environmentally-conscious consumers who value sustainable and unique gift options.
