Materials and Processes recently viewed a 60 Minutes special
that discussed the serious problem of illegally shipping our old computers and
other devices to developing countries, creating a harmful waste, called
E-waste. We then watched a video called
Waste=Food. This short video discussed
the problems of E-waste, and a way to solve it.
The solution is making textiles that are biodegradable, making them food
for growth. We need to start designing
things that can be thrown away safely in the future. I think this is a technique all designers
should consider when making a product.
