The Upcycling Project

By simply adding an aesthetic cap to it, designer Ryan Choi hopes to extend the useful life of a plastic bottle. Many bottles get dumped and wasted, so adding this cap not only extends the life but also adds purpose; for example making a vase out of the bottle – Upcycling the form.

Ryan explains, β€œThe cap protects against unwanted elements entering the bottle and as easy use lid that opens and closes quite simply for usability.”

Details: H 50mm X W 68mm X D 68mm

Designer: Ryan Jongwoo Choi

Cap Shooting Bottle Opener

cap zappa Cap Shooting Bottle Opener
Pop open a bottle and then shoot the cap across the room with the Cap Zappa (no relation to Frank, Dweezil, or Moon Unit). The spring loaded mechanism shoots bottle caps nearly 15 feet. I’m not sure if it’s the best idea to put a bottle cap weapon in the hands of a drunken fool (or worse- to shoot AT one) but you can shoot responsibly for the first bottle at least. Better than throwing the bottle I guess. Available in February. (via chugbuzz!)
