About the project
This project focuses on household electronic waste which is the fastest growing waste sector in the UK. I wanted to examine the factors which contribute to this rising waste, and how they can be prevented through design intervention. My research led me to investigate the right to repair movement, whose aim is to change global legislation to remove barriers around self-repair in domestic appliances and beyond. With this in mind, I went on to design a series of transparent objects. These aim to remove the intimidation users may feel, and by using semi-permanent fixings, empower individuals to disassemble and repair products.
