PROJECT: 4th Bin – electronic waste collector (EWC)


DESIGN: tres birds workshop and cypher 13
DATE: Summer, 2009
MATERIALS: both the body and head is made of 100% post consumer electronics recycled plastics technology (PCERP). it is made of what it collects. the security shield dumping mechanism and locking arm are made of stainless steel.
WHY: we are producing and consuming more than our resource rich spaceship can sustain. we have turned a corner and committed to technology to help us solve this problem. and, our technology-based faith has provided us with a yet another resource, electronic waste. to manage this resource sustainably we must reuse is, recycle it, and sometimes dispose of it. regardless, we must first collect it. Enter the 4th bin… and the electronic waste collector (EWC), a modular, 3-part, e-waste collection system. Many thanks: Cypher-13 Eco-cycle of Boulder Valiant Technology Solution Providers
