Universal Packaging System
“It seems a box is always too big or small so designer Patrick Sung came up with flat sheets of recyclable corrugated cardboard called the Universal Packaging System or UPACKS.

I suspect each sheet would have to be sufficiently padded; not too thick, not too thin, but just right said Goldilocks.”

Save the Planet, With Cell Phones That Last Five Years
From Fast Company
Solar gadget chargers are the rage these days, as we try and rethink our everyday energy use. But it’s really window dressing on the greater problem: Over a two year period, the energy used to make a phone is three times greater than the energy used to operate it.

Designer James Barber has an idea: A cell phone whose guts you could readily replace as new technology arises, and whose case is made out of materials that are 85% recyclable.
