I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
Activewear company Lululemon has invested in the $30 million Series A round raised by Syntetica, a French startup that developed a novel approach to recycling nylon, whose properties make it both too good to give up but hard to reuse. Syntetica promises to recycle two types of nylon — Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6 —…
Vases occupy an awkward corner of product design. Most exist somewhere between functional and decorative without committing to either, and the result is a category that rarely surprises. Ceramic ones carry craft tradition, glass ones depend on color and transparency, and the novelty options try to be sculptural without much conviction behind them. It’s a…
Most gardening products arrive in a blizzard of plastic. Clamshell trays, foil seed packets, twist ties, instruction cards laminated in polyester. You buy them, use them, then spend 20 minutes figuring out what you can recycle and what you can’t. It’s a frustrating little ritual that, frankly, undercuts the whole point of growing something in…
Every morning, millions of people grab a coffee to go and toss the paper sleeve into the trash without a second thought. It is a tiny object, easy to overlook. But that tiny object is part of a system that produces an estimated 16 billion disposable cups every year, sleeves included, and nearly none of…
Upcycled materials have become a familiar part of sustainable design, but most of them still try to hide where they came from. The aluminum gets purified, the recycled plastic molded smooth, and the result looks clean and neutral but loses the story of its origins. Pairing genuine sustainability with aesthetic character turns out to be…
The fashion industry has a water problem that most people never see. Dyeing fabric is one of the most chemically intensive steps in garment production, and the wastewater that comes out of that process carries synthetic dyes, heavy metals, and other pollutants that routinely end up in rivers and soil. By the time a sequined…
Most of us have a box. Or a bag, or a corner of the closet where clothes go to wait for a fate we haven’t quite settled on yet. Not trash, not donation, just quietly pushed aside. The jeans that stopped fitting but once made you feel unstoppable. The sweater that pilled after three washes…
Some plastics never get recycled, no matter how much you sort them. Fishing nets, buoys, agricultural films, and multilayer snack packaging are too dirty or too mixed for normal recycling systems, so they end up burned or buried. Meanwhile, we keep pouring concrete into retaining walls and bases, even though concrete production is heavy on…
When it comes to recycling, few materials can match aluminum. It can be reused an infinite number of times, and it’s often cheaper to recycle than to produce new aluminum because it requires so much less energy. Yet only about a third of the aluminum used in the U.S. gets recycled. The problem lies in…
Here’s something you don’t expect to sit on: surgical masks. Nearly 10,000 of them, to be exact. But that’s exactly what Design PY created in Hong Kong’s Tai Kok Tsui neighborhood with Tidal Stories, a spiraling urban installation that quite literally traces where the ocean used to be. The concept is brilliant in its simplicity….
