Recycled Juice Box Purses
One of the most popular styles of recycled/upcycled handbag styles are purses made from recycled juice boxes. If you’ve ever looked closely at your kids’ juice boxes, you’ll notice the colorfully designed labels are actually sealed onto the cardboard box …
Each year, millions and millions of reams of this specially designed paper is used on juice boxes of all shapes and sizes. However, if there is the slightest imperfection in the paper’s color or print, the entire roll of paper is rejected and destroyed due to quality control standards …
Now, instead of all those giant rolls of unusable paper clogging up landfills, inventive eco friendly purse designers rescue and recycle the decorative paper on purses, messenger bags, wallets, coin purses, and more …
The process is actually called “upcycling”, which is very similar to recycling except for the fact that the unusable product is used in its original form rather than being entirely broken down. Either way, the material is reused into a beautiful and useful item, rather than simply thrown out.
There are literally hundreds of styles of recycled juice box purses available to you, in all manner of styles and functionality!
