Why we do it
To make
a
difference
because
Our world is drowning in garbage
So let’s keep things in the
loop
for longer, together
We invite:
Customers
to buy sustainable products made from open multipurpose parts.
Designers
to invent sustainable products made from open multipurpose parts and add remix options for existing solutions.
Vendors
to produce and distribute circular products made from multipurpose parts.
Why do products become waste?
Most products today are made from parts that are
- hard to produce,
- difficult to separate,
- single-purpose &
- closed source,
making these products unsustainable because they are hard to repair, upgrade, remix and recycle.
Circular design is built through collaboration.
We want to redesign everything to be made from parts that are
- easy to make,
- quick to separate,
- multipurpose &
- open source,
in order to enable sustainable practices such as repair, remix, upgrade and recycling.
Join
Let’s make change together.
