What to do with the wrapper!

I have always been a fan of recycling, especially when it comes to turning trash into art.  Well designer Emiliano Godoy has got my attention!  He asks companies to send him their misprinted or obsolete labels and wrappers so he can use them to upholster furniture.










The unfortunate fact is that almost everyone of these labels has the recycling triangle symbol on it meaning that it can be and should be recycled.  Why is it then that the companies producing these are going to throw them away?  Godoy makes sure they live up to their word and these otherwise useless wrappers are indeed recycled (probably an issue that someone should look into though!)
