To be brutally honest, I wouldn't believe that anything from Thailand is made from anything recycled, and think if the "consumer miles" inherent in having it delivered, even if it was!

Hi to All

I think there is another thread on articles made from recycled innertubes, where I mentioned the bags are not practical because of the weight.
I noticed it when I saw some innertube-bags in a shop in Rotterdam.

I think Rene what's-her-name at Baby Loves Latex is doing some bags from recycled inner tubes (no pun intended).

I made a couple of raincoats from tractor tubes years ago. Need to find another source for free tubes.

There has to be others in the US and Europe, such that you don't need to have things shipped from Asia.

Look at the bags, they are not made of inner tubes woven together.

Truck and tractor inner tubes are large enough to makes bags out of without weaving them together.

I agree, in fact I have some Michelin inner tubes from truck tyres in my shed which have that exact pattern on them. Sadly though they are for a set of tyres I used to have on my car and not for kinky purposes.
