The Big Idea

When a gadget breaks, do you throw it away? Some are designed to be fixed! Let's see how.

Screws

One Plastic

Less Trash

Step three: Less Trash. A product that lasts longer and can be fixed creates less trash. Thinking about the whole life of an invention is part of good design.

A Closer Look
