You read about it here first on Green Prophet. Now watch the vid.

  1. I work in the outdoor banners design business and I have never thought that such a creative way of recycling was possible. It seems that some people have a neck for certain things. The world is based on equilibrium: I mean that someone creates banners(me) and someone else thinks of a way of reusing those(Abu).

There’s something quietly beautiful about what Rebloom Studio is doing, and it starts with waste. At wholesale flower markets, mountains of unsold blooms are tossed out at the end of each cycle. Perfect flowers, just not sold in time. Most of them are burned or dumped. Rebloom takes that moment and turns it into something else.
