Living Inside the Box: Creative Eco-Friendly Design Using Shipping Containers

Most of us have seen a tower of shipping containers at least once in our life. Throughout the US there are over 700,000 abandoned shipping containers. As the US moves away from being a manufacturing economy, we receive many more of these containers than we use to export goods, creating a surplus of containers that, well, don’t contain anything. Reusing them for importing more goods is inefficient, since it’s usually less expensive to manufacture a new container than to reuse an old one. Thus we are left with man-made mountains of empty steel boxes sitting in shipyards across the United States.

As the world scrambles for ways to become greener, people are looking for ideas for recycling these old containers, and putting them to some good use. With the help of some creative entrepreneurs and architects, these cocoons of the industrial age are undergoing a metamorphosis into portable stores, emergency housing, and luxury homes. These containers allow for innovation in construction, as well as an efficient and environmentally friendly way of building our new homes and businesseswww.uship.com

What To Do with tape box's . . . . . . . . But then what other tapes are there?. . . . . . . . . . MiX Tape's, Music Tapes!!!. . . . . . ..

I found this Image when researching the internet for other types of tapes, this web site is actually a box doodle project. . . . . . . .

the rules are quite simple:
rearrange a box to make any
kind of figure or object.
make the most of least.

I thought that this site was fun, it gets lots of people involved and thinking of how to reuse what you would normally just throw away.

The box of found video tapes.

Last November i came across a box or tow of old video tapes which were going to be thrown away, so i took them.
the box inspired me and made me wonder of the possibility's of what they could be reused as, turned in to.
I found my self wondering of where they had came from who throw them away why were they now classed as rubbish and what was on the video tapes?
The video tapes played on my mind for a while untill i decided to investigate them more. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . .. .. .

Recycle Video Tapes

"What can I do with old VHS tapes ?"

Did you know:
It takes one-sixth of a gallon of petroleum to produce a single half-inch VHS tape (almost a gallon to produce one television and broadcast-standard tape.)
VHS tape shells are made from engineered resin that can't be "reused."

So what are the possibilities of video tapes?
