Constance RICHARD. Diploma project. DSAAD Product design. 2020

Today, natural resources are at the core of our development model and its crises. This shows an urgent need to rethink the way we consume and manage our resources.

With the e-consigne project, I imagined a deposit service for electronic and household electrical products directly linked to the companies concerned. By creating this e-consigne label, broken or non-functional equipment could be reintroduced into production in order to reduce the production of WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment). This project involves consumer and producer engagements to reduce e-waste production and to facilitate collection and recycling of the materials used in their design by introducing a new circular economy system.
