RUBBiSH (Recycled Rubber Sinks)

摘要

In the world of green products, worth is usually measured by a series of acronyms-VOCs, IAQ, FSC, etc.-or by percentage of recycled content, and even that is subdivided into categories: pre-consumer, postindustrial, and the most coveted, post-consumer. So it is refreshing to see RUBBiSH, which has a pedigree so pure that no acronyms are necessary. Our car-centric culture has left so many tires in the trash piles of the U.S. that the team at Santa Monica, Calif .-based architecture firm Minarc decided to turn them into something useful: bathroom sinks.
