The bright sparks over at Brand Image have come up with an ingenious concept to combat the growing plastic bottle phenomenon. In the United States alone, 60 million plastic bottles are thrown out each day with most of them ending up in landfill. Thus, the idea for the 360 Paper Bottle was born. Its made from a recyclable paper container and 100% renewable resources, its re-sealable and stackable too.

 

I hope that they'll start making these.

Made on the Left is the brainchild of some very talented artists and designers from Western Australia that met through Etsy. Their goal is to help nurture and support designers and provide the latest info and happenings in the West Australian creative scene. It's really great to see a site dedicated to the Aussies on the 'left'. Who said the Perth design scene was boring?

Made on the Left will be having their first ever markets this Saturday 12th July at the Hyde Park Hotel, from 11am to 4pm. There will be a showcase of some fab wares from jewellery, art, clothing and heaps more! For more information check out the site here.
