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:
Treasury minister 'hopes' businesses will pass on VAT reductions to customers
TT 'massive' for hospitality industry
Hopes summer VAT cuts will ease cost of living pressures for families and businesses
'The TT is our crown jewel' says caterer
