Overview

Submit your most creative projects out of reused materials! We are partnering with Nokero to give away lots of green prizes.

Nokero (short for No Kerosene) develops and manufactures safe, affordable and environmentally-friendly technologies that eliminates the need for harmful and polluting fuels used around the world. These products have been distributed to 120 countries through a number of distributors in developing countries (e.g. India, Fiji, South Africa, Rwanda, Namibia, Columbia, Guatemala, etc.). We appreciate Instructables' collaboration on this contest and look forward to seeing the creative reuse submissions.
