    Re Alternate (energy or cost-saving) uses for conventional products or
    services


    I'm looking for examples of products (or services) that were designed and
    marketed for one purpose but have found alternate, novel (ie. cost reducing;
    alternate materials, energy savings etc ) uses, especially in this
    recession among recession-weary and cost-savvy consumers.

    Thank you in advance for your suggestions
