Alchemy Goods - Turning Useless into Usefull

Monday, November 02, 2009 |


Alchemy Goods currently recycles inner tubes, vinyl billboards, and seat belts and crafts them into durable and fashionable bags. The exterior of the bag is made of the inner-tubes rendering the finished product very water resistant, straps are made from seat belts and the zipper pulls are made from the inner-tube valve stems. Each bag is assembled by hand and each bag is unique and guaranteed for life... Pretty cool.



One of the most ingenious things that caught my eye was how Alchemy is using their brand identity as an experience touchpoint. From the Alchemy Goods website:

"Every Alchemy Goods bag purchased represents one less part of our world destroyed. That’s why all our products should have the highest possible recycled content, but also be superbly functional and aesthetically pleasing.

The logo intentionally looks like the periodic table. The number in the upper right hand corner represents the percent (by weight) of recycled material in the product you purchased."

Sustainability?

The "greatest good for the greatest number" applies to the [number of] people within the womb of time, compared to which those now alive form but an insignificant fraction. Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us to restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations.

Theodore Roosevelt, 1916
