Problem

When a cellphone or computer owner has a damaged device, they often resort to buying a new one rather than getting it repaired. If their old device goes in the trash, they may not realize this will cause hazardous chemicals to leak into the air and soil. It's unhealthy for landfill workers and animals in surrounding ecosystems. Precious metals and finite materials are also wasted.

Design Solution

The following website advocates for repairing or recycling broken devices. The visual language seeks to magnify the problem and incite a revolution among visitors, transforming a scientifically dense topic into a lively, dynamic experience. Design elements
such as the blocky typography and torn header effect make for a masculine and gritty feel across the site, echoing the coarseness
of both repairing processes and toxic landfills. Each proposed solution to the crisis of e-waste serves as a link to a dedicated
page: read, repair, and recycle.
