1. Recycled Circuit Board Table Lamp
This eco-friendly lighting solution reuses old circuit boards to create a striking desktop lamp. Be sure to stick an energy saving light bulb in it to be really green.
Cost: Approx $30 plus shipping
2. Recycled Floppy Disk Notepad
The 3.5-inch floppy, once a mainstay of portable data storage gets a new lease on life as a 90-page notepad. The front and back covers are made from disks dating from the 80s so as you're jotting away you can imagine what the disks might have once held.
Cost: $5.95
3. Recycled Computer Keyboard Jewelry
Etsy seller KeyedUp takes old PC and Mac keyboard keys and, with some serious skill and a bit of sterling silver, makes jewelry any geek would be more than happy to wear.
Cost: Varies, from around $18
The British-made Reee Chair boasts a plastic back and seat made from 2.4kg's worth of recycled PlayStation 2 consoles making it the green gamer's perfect place to perch.
Cost: From around $170
5. Tread's Recycled Laptop Sleeve
Tread's heavy duty laptop sleeves are handcrafted from re-engineered rubber "rescued from the tires of South American trucks" (presumably once they are done with them). This effort pictured is perfect for 15-inchers, but there are more designs online.
Cost: $49.95
6. Recycled Cassette Tape Necktie
There's some deep thinking behind this range of unique ties, but in a nutshell they are made from the tape from old recorded music cassettes with the fabric still audible if you run a tape head over it. Mad.
Cost: $120
7. TEcoART's Recycled Computer Clocks
Here another Etsy seller takes old computer parts and upcycles them, this time into clocks that will almost certainly double as conversation pieces. As well as some nifty Apple-themed efforts, there's the option to send in your own for conversion.
Cost: Varies
8. Hello Rewind's Recycled Laptop Sleeves
It's a total win-win concept here -- send Hello Rewind a treasured old tee to be turned into a laptop (or newly available iPad) sleeve (with different sizes available) and at the same time you're providing work to women in the NYC area who formerly worked in the sex trafficking industry.
Cost: $49
9. Vling's Recycled Vinyl Jewelry
Vling makes unusual, contemporary necklace and earring designs from recycled vinyl records. As well as a plethora of black designs, there are some brighter efforts to look out for made from colorful special edition records.
Cost: Varies, from $14.99
10. Astro Clock From SkateStudyHouse
This striking, retro-styled timepiece's eco credentials come in with the fact that it is made from old skateboard wheels, bearings and decks. Totally sick as those skater types might say.
Cost: From $200
