Mezel Mods and Tiltcycle Announce an Eco-Friendly Upcycling Pinball into Art Partnership

Albuquerque, NM – (Sept 10, 2016) – Mezel Mods creates quality custom mods for your high-end pinball machines. Like any manufacturing process, the design process includes prototyping and often times errors in manufacturing, which add to production loss. Much of that loss turns into trash. That trash will now be upcycled by Tiltcycle, whose mission is to upcycle broken pinball parts into beautiful art. Good things this does:

  1. Saves the environment by giving products that fail to meet retail standards a second chance at becoming viable as art
  2. Reduces landfill
  3. Increases consumer satisfaction about purchasing green product

“Reduce, reuse, recycle has always been one of my mantras,” said Mezel Mods owner Kristin Browning-Mezel. “This partnership allows our company to move from just recycling to reuse,” said Browning-Mezel. The company hopes to reduce waste and contribute to a new line of interesting pinball art with a unique history.

My Christmas ornaments made a Buzzfeed list and I immediately sold out of my stock. It was pretty remarkable how quickly people responded. These have now made their way to Tumblr feeds where they’re being reblogged.
