• Revitilize product functionality

Give a second life to objects by transforming it to have a new function. Either invent a new product that solves a common problem or provide an alternative to a product currently on the market.

• Maximize the reuse of existing objects

Explore the possibility of modifying, removing or adding to any of the original materials.  New components can be rapid prototyped - see the Technology tab on the left for more details.

• Minimize energy consumption and waste

Your metacycle process should have fewer environmental impacts than available alternatives on the market.  Design for disassembly when possible.
