E-Waste Reuse









Re-use/Re-purpose


  • Reusing/re-purposing electronics extends life of products and keeps valuable materials from entering waste stream
  • Donating working electronics helps schools, nonprofit orgs, and lower income citizens, tax reduction for donation
In my previous post on the microwave study, the authors suggested several manufacturing techniques that would make repair much more feasible.  However, if the old electronics are beyond repair there are many other options out there to consider before throwing it in the trash or recycling it

Re-purpose

Old TV = Dog bed

MacBook = Light fixture


OR here's something I did with an old 1980's era electric organ.  I took wired and circuits from the inside of the organ, and used them to create this light sensitive primitive synth.  Check it out in the following videos
