If 10,000 NY Biters use a decorative platter made from recycled materials instead of virgin wood, we'll save over 110 trees.

Japanese company Kaneko Sangyo has developed a cardboard toilet - complete with privacy screen - for use inside a car.

Boxing Match

The Bite

Ready for some knock-out-clever design? Punch up your pad's style with a few Liquid Cardboard creations from Cardboardesign. Morph and mold these cool decorative accessories (available in five shapes and sizes) into votive candle holders, fruit baskets, platters, whatever. Sturdy but lightweight, each honeycomb structure is made from recycled fibers (such as newspapers, corrugated containers, and straw) and secured with nontoxic glues with no animal byproducts. Display them alone, or mix 'n' match to release your inner artiste. We've been using a small one to store our makeup brushes - and now we're hyped for round two.

Wanna Try

Cardboardesign, available online or at Cardboardesign, 410A West Broadway b/t Spring and Prince Sts. (347-886-2061). Liquid No.1, $44.
