# Shopping Bag Chandeliers The Eco-Conscious Reused Plastic Bag Light By Marissa Liu | Published 2010-01-16 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plastic-bag-light References: [led-emotionalize](http://www.led-emotionalize.com/ideaDetails/index/ideaId/572) & [picocool](http://picocool.com/out/unusually-cool-plastic-bag-lamp) This unique Plastic Bag Light is not an actual plastic bag, but this unusual [pendent light fixture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-glow-light) was *inspired* by regular grocery bags. Hanging upside down in a room, the Plastic Bag Light could easily pass for a really budget lamp shade. Made of improvised materials such as treated plastic of porcelain, the pendent lamp even looks like it has been crumpled and creased, just like a real plastic bag. **Implications** - So if you're looking for a way to make your room stand out, but you'd rather forgo elegance for some [unique designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lapso) instead, then the Plastic Bag Light is the product you've been waiting for. Well, perhaps as a cheap substitute with the same effect, you may want to consider just hanging a plastic bag on a light fixture. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 69% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Upcycled Lighting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create unique lighting fixtures by repurposing unconventional materials like plastic bags. - **Eco-friendly Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable products that mimic everyday objects, like this plastic bag-inspired light fixture. - **Budget Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer affordable alternatives to traditional home decor items, such as low-cost and creatively designed lighting fixtures. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionize the home decor industry by introducing eco-conscious and budget-friendly products. - **Lighting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Disrupt the lighting industry by creating unconventional and sustainable light fixtures. - **Sustainable Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Drive innovation in the sustainable design industry by exploring new ways to repurpose materials and create unique products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [Organic Paper-Like Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito.md) - [Ecological Dual Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-light.md) - [Paper-Made Origami Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanging-origami-lamp.md) - [Plant Pod-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-inspired-pendant-light.md) - [Bubble-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubbles-lighting-design.md) - [Bakery-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-pendant-light.md) - [Deflated Balloon Clothing Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chong-shop.md) - [Recycled Material Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozy-cleo-lamp.md)
