Fabric Recycling Now Available at Moss, Inc.

The squeky wheel gets the oil....and Moss is now taking back their polyester printed products for recycling!  If you can remove the extra hardware on your fabric and get it back to their warehouse in Elk Grove Village , then you can keep it out of a landfill.

Here is a picture of their new baler, insn't it pretty?  Moss's old printed products that get collected for recycling cannot be melted and turned into new print quality fabric, that is impossible as of January 27, 2012.  Anyone else who tells you otherwise is not being completely honest with you.  What does happen is that the collected printed polyester products are shredded and used to make  agregate, horse bedding, insulation.....and hot dogs.

Autodesk Photofly

Some Czarnowski designers have been using Autodesk's new application , Photofly, to make 3D models and image maps from photographs taken of objects.  A beautiful Timex watch was the object chosen, and here are the results.  The image maps are very impressive, as is the amount of triangular faces created, but the program seems to have a little ways to go to in order to easily create accurate models...but it is very very close!  Get it while its still free here--->   http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/photo_scene_editor/
