<p>Created Page + Added Basic Sections/Info</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>=Basics=<br /> *A Part of the “[[Design for X]]” Series<br /> *Essentially design products such that (Non-Biodegradable and/or Fossil Based) Plastics are only used where absolutely necessary <br /> *Furthermore [[Product End of Life]] is heavily considered and optimized for<br /> *Reusing as much as possible, and in the case of consumables such as Toiletries etc, optimizing a “Refill” ecosystem to reduce [[Packaging Waste]] in refills and such is advised <br /> *For sections such as Packaging that ARE to become waste, optimizing for Reuse, Ease of Cleaning/Sorting (especially by Automated Means in a [[Materials Recovery Facility]] / in [[Single Stream Recycling]] etc) or for Destruction in [[W2E]] plants is also advisable <br /> **For instance use Rigid Plastic instead of Plastic Films<br /> **Use Monolithic Materials rather than “[[Multilayer Bags]]” etc<br /> **Rigid easy to clean plastic containers rather than Tetrapacks<br /> **Easily burnable Paper or Cardboard / [[Molded Pulp]] rather than Plastic<br /> **NOT STYROFOAM<br /> <br /> =Areas=<br /> ==Toiletries==<br /> *For Soap/Shampoo/Conditioner design around<br /> **A Durable, Maintainable Dispenser<br /> **Bulk Refills<br /> **Potentially Selling a Concentrate that is “reconstituted” with [[Deionized Water]]<br /> ***For [[Dish Detergent]] / [[Laundry Detergent]] , using concentrates or powders as-is is easier, for directly used products such as most toiletries this becomes more difficult <br /> ***Notable exception of [[Toothpaste Tablets]]<br /> <br /> ==Lighters==<br /> *[[Refillable Butane Lighters]] rather than Disposable Butane Lighters<br /> *[[Plasma Lighters]] / [[Electronic Ignition]] rather than Disposable [[Piezoelectric Ignition]]<br /> **Although if produced Sustainably, [[Piezoelectric Polymers]] / [[Piezoelectric Biomaterials]] if available in COTS components that could be swapped in would suffice <br /> ***Most COTS piezoelectric materials are either (Mined) Quartz or Lead Compounds <br /> <br /> ==Fuel==<br /> *Optimize around filling at [[Filling Stations]] or using [[Cascade Storage]]<br /> **Such as 1LB Propane Tanks, Refilled from a 20Lb Tank, Refilled at a Store<br /> <br /> =Internal Links=<br /> *<br /> <br /> =External Links=<br /> *</div>
