True to its slogan, “Where Recycling Meets Design,” online community Superuse.org highlights cool projects by designers and artists working with secondhand materials and cast-off objects.

Turns out plenty of people have big ideas for old shipping containers, shampoo bottles, and airplane fuselages.
