Turn Your Leftover Tyvek Into Something Else Altogether

Unknown.

Jasmin recently described how you can recycle Tyvek by sending it back for recycling; Planet Green has also demonstrated the making of wallets and laptop sleeves.

Designers Diego Ramos and Luis Eslava have recycled it into furniture, lamps, vases, and stools; they came up with enough ideas to mount an exhibition called "Tyvek World." Something to think about if you can score any housewrap-sized pieces from local construction sites. ::Designboom
