The Isle of Man is being introduced to the concept of up-cycling.
It's a process where disused or unwanted items are transformed into products of greater value than the originals.
An exhibition of up-cycled furniture was staged at St John's Mill recently, with all the items having been donated, bought for a few pounds from charity shops or rescued from skips at civic amenity sites.
Dawn Hamer from the start-up firm Interior Rehab says it's a business venture with a strong commitment to helping the environment:
New child employment rules come into force
Tourist tax would be 'wrong move at the wrong time', says Douglas hotelier
Diesel price increases 'could put some taxi drivers out of business'
Interim census 'important for business as well as government'
