Do you have several old car tires litter up your lawn? Why not take them over to Japan and put them to good use. These days it seems the Japanese all cranking out all sorts of products made from old tires… (except love)

For example, a Hiroshima sneaker company is using old tired and turning them into shoes. Sneaker line Spingle Move isn’t just eco friendly, they’re also quite water resistant. Which you could have guesses from that fact that they seem to be made mostly from rubber…

If not shoes the tire recycling craze is making its way to other areas of consumer products. Purses, wallets, bags. They’re all going rubber and high fashion.
