Eco-Friendly 360 Paper Bottle Concept Makes Tetra Paks Look So ’60s
10:51PM Kit Eaton | I tend to avoid bottled water—my tap-water’s fine and way cheaper—but since millions don’t think the same, this concept from designers Brand Image would be a way to reduce the eco-impact of all those nasty plastic bottles. The 360 is a paper bottle, molded from 100% recyclable, food-safe paper, and its simplicity makes even the venerable cardboard Tetra Pak drinks carton look outdated. These things are almost “printed-out,” they stack, are re-sealable, and look fab. These ought to be real, and when they are I hope they get the texture of the “lip” right: you don’t want fuzzy cardboardiness there. [Core77]galleryPost('360paper', 3, ''); More »

12:06PM Nick Broughall | Ever wondered what happens to all that recycled PET plastic you throw out every week? Well part of it ends up in these new camera bags from Lowepro, dubbed Terraclime.
The bags consist of up to 97% recycled PET plastic, making them some of the most environmentally friendly bags on the planet. What makes up the other 3% is anyone’s guess, but we here at Gizmodo would like to think that includes solar dust and the love of a baby panda.
The bags are available in three different colours, grass, plum and black, and will cost between $29 and $89, depending on the size of the bag. A portion of the bag’s sale will also go to Polar Bears International, who will spend the money trying to save polar bears from the impact of climate change.
So that other 3% could actually be made from the love of a baby polar bear then, not a panda. Awesome!

Dumbell Shaped Sports Bottle Gives You a Thirst Quenching Workout
9:00AM Sean Fallon | I don’t know how much of a workout you are going to get with some rinky-dink 1 pound weights, but I like the idea behind this Dumbell Sports Bottle design. Not only would a bottle weight serve as a constant reminder about proper hydration, it would also encourage recycling. Plus, if you were to drink from the bottle, it would unbalance the weight which could benefit your muscles by working them in unique ways. It’s only a concept at this point, but if you add on some litre and gallon bottles I think it could be a viable product. More »

‘Sculpture’ Fires Beer Bottles at a Wall at 600KPH
1:02AM Adam Frucci | Now this is what I call art. It’s a sculpture/robot that flings empty beer bottles at a solid wall at 600 KPH, smashing them to smithereens. As the exhibit goes on during the day, a pile of green shards of glass piles up under the wall. It’s a comment on rock and roll or something, but I’m a simple man. I just like seeing things smash. If you’re like me, you can go check out the cannon at the SUPERDOME exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. Hit the jump for another shot of the cannon in action. More »
