Umbrellas
Around one billion umbrellas are discarded every year! There are several companies in the UK who turn both the fabric and metal from old brollies into new items. For example, Anti based in Kent, upcycle the metal frames of umbrellas to create light fixtures and Mice & Meys in Glasgow make tote bags and pouches from the waterproof fabric.
