Eco alert: design for a double life
Article Abstract:
Companies are beginning to embrace designs which allow the products to be reused. For instance, Tension Envelope Corp supplies an envelope to several companies which can be refolded to form a return envelope. The envelopes are made of virgin paper which can be recycled once the envelope is returned. Deja Inc manufactures sneakers from recycled materials and the packaging is designed to convert into a decorative storage box. Once the sneakers get worn-out, the box becomes a mailing container in which the customers can return the shoes for recycling.

Eco alert: guilt-free convenience
Article Abstract:
The FunSaver 35 from Kodak allows the recycling of a camera that has a circuit board, vinyl coated wires, metal shutter and metal clips, but does not differ much from the Fling 35 introduced earlier. The outdoor Mini, a product of the Nature Company, is a compact 1 1/4 inch durable camera that is finding increasing acceptance because of and despite its unique shape.
