Nottingham Trent University launches ‘make-it-yourself’ design portal(09/05/2012)
With environmental impact becoming a more prominent issue for people in everyday life, a new make-it-yourself, reuse and ‘open’ product design portal has been launched by two lecturers at Nottingham Trent University. Built with the aim of changing people’s attitudes to household waste, ‘Co-oproduct.org’ is a freely available resource that shows how to creatively turn household packaging and everyday waste materials into new, desirable objects.
