Recycling not only benefits the environment, but it also can help you save money and breathe new life into waste.

For this week's Vine challenge, use recycled materials -- paper, plastic, metal, fabric or glass -- to create something useful. This theme is brought to you by Mashable and PepsiCo, as part of its sustainability microsite #HowWillWe.

Think DIY or upcycling: you can easily repurpose discarded materials into practical items like room decor or even clothing. Come up with a fun stop-motion animation, or shoot a time lapse video while transforming your scraps into gems. ​

To enter the challenge, submit your video by Wednesday, October 7 at 10 a.m. ET using the hashtag #RecycledArtwork. Mashable will revine some of our favorite submissions and feature more in a follow-up post. A select few will also appear on howwillwe.com.
