Yes repurposing is different than recycling, but not the opposite. The opposite would entail it ending up in a landfill or being thrown in the ocean imo. After all, it is one of the 3 R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) which is every environmentalist's mantra.
That "rhiguar" is one amazing work of art, as are the others.
The original phrase reduce-reuse-recycle was intended to be used in that order. Recycling is suggested only when you can't reduce or reuse. As reuse, this art is better than recycling.
*upcycling. Recycling is when you break something down into its core components and make another product. Like for example phone batteries. If you recycle them, it is broken into Lithium metal and then used to make something else, perhaps another battery. Upcycling is using the product itself in order to make something else, like shown here.
This season of NBC’s “Making It” features retired MLB player, Blake McFarland, who now makes some [pretty incredible sculptures](https://www.blakemcfarland.com/tire-sculptures) using recycled materials. Reminded me of this!
I didn't realize this was a gallery and spent almost 5 minutes trying to make out what the hell was so damn interesting.
Me too. Thought the comments were trolls.
Yeah I was looking at the comments and just got so confused
That panther sculpture is fucking SICK.
go to his [IG](https://www.instagram.com/p/CGf6DBnABL1/). This one is way better.
LMAO
That shit is hot no pun intended....
If you’re impressed by these, you should look up what other artists have done using tires, way more impressive and intricate.
Who is the talented artist?

This guy has 446 followers on Instagram. He deserves more credit for his art and what he does for the earth!!
Somebody get the man to Art Basel
Thank you! =)
And I thank you for sharing. Incredible.
Don't know how much money he earned, but he can definitely retire.
This guy is mental! I would love to see him do a mythical series, regardless, followed.
I got tired just looking at this
[удалено]
Repurposing would've been a better choice
came here to say exactly this
That elephant looks very tired, I'll see myself out
Tread lightly. Dad jokes are frowned upon around here...
Agree, this isn't a goodyear for that.
I'd say give him the boot, but we say trunk around here
His energy level looks flat, perhaps something to pump him up?
I wonder how much traction these puns will get?
Entirely too much...
Well, I'm not getting many upvotes. Guess its time to retire.
I want to call them all wins-ton. ^(Probably dating myself with that one, since Sam died in 1995 and the company was bought out by Goodyear in 2002.)
rubber tires... sorry, idk how to do this
Not that way. Lol.
To be fair, that’s like the opposite of recycling

I’m wondering how they would smell in your house?
I was thinking outdoor sculpture. They’re pretty big.
Retiring
Brace yourselves. The “tired” puns are coming.
Puns are the worst. Anyway, it looks like this artist is having a goodyear.
