From Recycling to Fair Trade and Conflict Free Material. Companies such as HP Are Doing a Great Job.

Despite there are a lot of efforts on recycling, very little of our stuff is recyclable and being recycled. I don’t think we are doing enough, designers and consumers have a dilemma, and we love nicely designed packaging but hate to see the kind of waste we’re producing. Food containers are one good example.

Repair Is the New Recycle

I remember when I was much younger, I would love to take stuff apart, modify it and put them back together. I actually learnt how to solder wires at 10 or 11 and that help me repair my damaged Radio Control Cars. Luckily I’m a better electrician than a driver!

So I was quite tickled when I read about Platform 21’s Most Remarkable Repair Contest. The work submitted really resonated with me!
