Diverting Waste Streams
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
- Err on the side of "Thanks, but no thanks" in a vain attempt at avoiding junk accumulation
Material Recycling
(Or "we're a long way from needing to test recycled filament")
Basics Are Easy
Best Laid Plans
Far Bigger Problem
Into the Future
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
