the green family is a series of kitchen tools and meal-preparation made of a recycled plastic and wood blend, attractive and functional design, each piece has been given a first name green, of course is the family name, and personality that matches its appearance, and at the end of a green’s life-cycle, it can be recycled too!
At long last, you can finally grate cheese with a princess, peel veggies with a nuclear warhead, and scrub your dishes with Guy Fieri’s head. We recommend taking advantage of that overnight delivery ASAP. Additional photos are available after the break.

All those cans that had the perfect look and actually made it to store shelves never missed an opportunity to put down the misprints and make them feel inferior and insecure about their typos and upside down labels. Unfortunately, that was before they learned that people didn’t care about their appearance and only wanted to use them for their liquid holding ability, then throw them away. As if that wasn’t bad enough, guess who’s stepping in to make sure they get to the dump? The Misprint waste can. That’s right, payback’s a bitch!

What separates a rich man from a hobo? When a rich man sits on a 50 gallon drum it has cushions, swanky European brand names, and falls into the “recycled” category. And oh yeah, he gets to pay $417 for the privilege. An additional design is pictured after the break.

Here’s yet another product in the long line of garbage to gadget conversions, this time for the bicycle lover in your life. Presenting a clock made from reclaimed bike chainwheels that tells time, promotes recycling and can stab you.

Save a broken skateboard from the landfill with a deckstool made from reclaimed skateboard decks. Although their new configuration means they can no longer serve as an instrument to transport, do tricks or impress girls, it can still serve quadruple duty as an end table, ass support, accent piece and a way make Tony Hawk cry.

Until now, empty spray cans were about as useful as a DVD rewinder (which actually exists…go figure). But leave it to some artistic soul to notice the beauty of the can itself, and you end up with a nifty product like this desk lamp which is fit for the finest yard sales and flea markets. The retro can design says “I’m an antique” while the paint runs say “use me, baby, its happened before”. Someone’s obviously been culling through some top notch trash.

Take a tour of the U.S. with this reclaimed license plate map, courtesy of our penology system and some guy who decided to shape them like states, mount them on a cedar picnic table top thingy, and charge $3,900 for the result. Why such a high price? Because the product page includes two words that are the kiss of death to your wallet: “handmade” and “art”. And to cap it all off, it was also featured on “Extreme Makeover: The Home Edition”. Any kind of product offering a triple threat like that certainly won’t be cheap.

These 24″ DPW Platters made from retired street signs are described as “edgy, modern and certainly something your guests will want to talk about”. In addition, each platter has “it’s own distinctive marks”, which means dinner conversation can focus on trying to determine whether each imperfection was the result of a car hitting the sign, a bird strike, or simply kids chucking rocks at it. Fun for the whole family!

Finally you can put your fears of a picnic-time avalanche to rest with this recycled snowboard picnic table. They can be made from boards of your choice (provided they are available), and at 30″ X 60″, it should comfortably seat up to six people. So now if winter rears it ugly head and sends a wave of snow your way, your potato salad may be history but you can tear the table apart and ride to safety. All but that sixth person… that guy’s screwed.
