Filed Under: Cargo Containers • Design • Recycling • Shipping Containers

If you have ever been near one of the main shipping ports around the world, you’ve likely seen the ubiquitous shipping containers stacked on top of each other. Near the major ports you can see thousands, if not tens of thousands of them, just sitting there. This begs the question, with trade imbalances (especially in the USA with us not sending nearly as much stuff out of the country as we import into the country) what the heck are we going to do with all of these shipping containers? Here are some great examples of old shipping containers repurposed into homes, schools, restaurants, and even hotels!
