Our Case Studies
Oripura – 100% Recyclable Folding Laptop Stand
Recyclability is an important principle of a circular, and more sustainable economy. It refers to the ability of a product's materials to be reprocessed and reused at the end of its life cycle. Instead of ending up at landfill, the material is transformed into new products, conserving resources, reducing waste and minimising environmental impact.
