New handbag made of recycled truck tire inner tubes
Richmond,
Virginia - Passchal, a handbag company in Richmond,
Virginia, has introduced a tote bag made of used
truck and tractor inner tubes. The company says
making handbags out of the material reduces the
potential environmental impact of the discarded
tubes, which can be expensive and difficult to
dispose of. The handbags retail from U.S.$125 -
$175.
