Different purpose
adapted for alternative use
eg. wine glass could be a rose vase
Recycle
Recyclable products
Glass
Plastic
Metals
Products that use recycled materials
Disassembly
Tertiary recycling
Types of recycling
Primary
Same as reusing a product
eg. refilling plastic bottle
Secondary
Taking something apart and making something else
eg. making a pair of jeans into a bag
Tertiary
When products are broken down and reformulated
eg. plastic bottles into fleece fabric
Rethink
Is it possible to approach design problems differently?
More sustainably?
How?
Utalising wastage products or components of old products
Repair
Try to fix and mend broken products
Products
Can they be fixed?
Is it safe to fix this product?
Refuse

Thermochromic
Change colour in response to a temperature change
eg. mugs that change colour when hot drink is present
Photochromic
Changes colour is response to a change in the light level
eg. white indoors, colourful outside
Phosphorescent pigment
stores light energy and then provides an 'afterglow'
'Afterglow' - glows in the dark
eg. safety signs
