WAIT!!! Did I REALLY just say that? Does this mean I'm going to have to buy an iPod? Or, is that yesterday's history, too?
#Cubify ekocycle update#
Now that I understand the value that will.i.am brings to the Cubify table, it might be time to update my record collection, too. So, each cartridge recycles an average of three PET bottles.
Each EKOCYCLE cartridge will contain filament comprised of a 25% mixture of recycled PET bottles.
What better way for us to recycle plastic than to use it to create new useful items of our own creation! Coca-Cola is a partner in the 2D Systems EKOCYCLE project.
The EKOCYCLE Cube is a bold response to the fact that plastics technology inevitably produces some waste but, that waste can be reused. When it comes to pop culture I'm locked into a " Happy Days" time warp!īut, I've come to appreciate the reality that will.i.am is not only a true renaissance man but, a forward thinking activist that not only sees future problems but, solutions as well. So, I hope you can understand when I say that I remember being puzzled when it was announced that will.i.am was announced to be Chief Creative Officer. Presence in the classroom is a narrative with a powerful and compelling message. That's how 3D printing could save the world and you can have your coffee.so you can go out and save the world.I can't imagine that schools can pass this printer up. I would rather have you drive to Walmart to get your part than have a plastic piece have to travel across the country. Saving landfills and saving unnecessary micro transaction travel. Call them, they have the blueprint of the part on file since it's a vendor they use and go there and pick it up. Of course since I bought the coffee maker at Walmart, Walmart comes to mind. So we may in the meantime need a retailer that would have the printers on site. Now even with the demonitzing of 3D printing, we don't all have one. I put some empty plastic water bottles in my printer I go on to the manufacturer website and get the part number Here's another example of how it could go. Wow.that's a lot to go through to get my coffee. It ends up on a truck or plane or some other mode or transportation and eventually it ends up at my doorstep. I'm advised to email or call Keurig direct which I do and they find the part and let me know that they can ship it to me in a couple days. I call Walmart, which is where I bought the device and find out that they don't carry the "replacement" parts for the device they sell. It may eventually help the manufacturing end in the future.but it can help the supply end of the chain right end right now. The Stari is one of the first, if not the first completed 3D printed car.īut as I shared earlier.we are at the wrong end of it. The material used to 3D print items is from recyclables.īut how else can 3D printing help? We know also ready that companies like Ford Motor Company are using 3D printing to assist in expense at the manufacturing end.

But what if the products you need to buy would be cheaper.or even free if you recycled? I'd like to think that saving the environment would be reason enough but we know it's not. You may have a recycling center or program in your area but the only thing that makes its work is people using it.īut what if everyone had a reason to make it work? 70% of landfills are filled with reusable or recyclable products.
