We recently posted about HP's concept of shipping laptops in laptop bags, rather than just cardboard boxes; another packaging-life-extension concept we've seen is a wine bottle package that turns into a lamp.
Designed by Barcelona-based design firm Ciclus, the product isn't perfect--debate rages over whether this is better for the environment or worse--but we feel it's a step in the right direction.

The recycling idea is nice, but then, the package is turned into a lamp with very poor luminous efficacy, and a excess of energy is consumed during the liftetime of the lamp. Doesn't this loss of energy overturn the gain by package recycling?
