One month, it'll be on the way to the charity thrift store. Hardly forward looking. And can we talk about the purpose produced inch-thick glass? Beautiful, but impossible to dust.

And, how many times you need to recycle a material for it to be eco-friendly? I know there's quite a few materials that can be recycled again and again, but what about the embedded energy of those processes? I think design wise is a good response for a material that otherwise would be thrown away.

Methinks perhaps would be better used as...rope! Hmmm…a giant, non-recyclable, initially cool-looking (curiosity factor) dust, dander and food bits magnet that is virtually uncleanable.

Nobody is producing 1200 foot spools of rope as a manufacturing waste headed for a landfill. Coolness factor: 10
Sustainability factor: 0

This is repurposing, NOT recycling. Nobody is producing 1200 foot spools of rope as a manufacturing waste headed for a landfill.
