Description:
The goal of the Cradle to Cradle Design Challenge is to eliminate the concept of “waste” by designing products with materials that may be perpetually cycled to retain their value as nutrients to fuel growing global economies. We entered our model in the Autodesk 2017 Cradle to Cradle Product Design Challenge and won in the category for "Best Use of Fusion 360."
The EPA estimates that close to two billion razors are discarded each year. These razors end up in landfills largely due to the difficulty and danger associated with recycling the small stainless steel blades. Additionally, disposable razors waste an incredible amount of water during consumer use. We aimed to design a 100% recyclable razor utilizing a completely stainless steel head, while at the same time allowing the razor to perform at the same standards, without using as much water.
