Component Reuse

Tool Clearing House

Small-scale Reuse

Not All Perfect...

• Almost, but failed to, set up scheme to take sign-maker's waste acrylic for laser-cutter stocks

Co-evolving Parts

Community Company Reuse

• Bigger companies as an integral part of the community
• Waste streams diverted at a scale that works
• A network of makerspaces in the community that can consume those waste streams
• Increased awareness of the potential waste streams leading to new businesses to use them
