The Move-it Kit allows you to create a cardboard trolley quickly and easily to allow you to transport packages without the need for a vehicle. The cardboard parts of the kit can be stuck onto the box, providing you with two wheels and a handle to move you package with.

The Move-it Kit has been designed by David Graham to allow people to be able to take even large packages home themselves without needing a car or for the item to be delivered at a later date. The aim is to cut down on the amount of vehicle usage for transport of packages. This simple cardboard kit is designed to be easily stuck to just about any parcel or package that is up to 20kg in weight. The kit comprises of two stick on wheels and two types of handle that can be stuck onto the item you need to transport. The handles can be stuck on in a variety of ways to allow the kit to be used for a myriad of packages.

Due to the kit being made mostly from cardboard it is light enough to be taken with you, either taken on purpose when you are out shopping for a larger item, or to be carried with you in case during a shopping trip. Though the parts are designed to stick onto the box you need to transport they can be reused. The adhesive that is on the cardboard pieces should allow you multiple uses if the items are removed carefully, and additional adhesive can be added if required. The wheels have been used effectively for up to 10 miles.

Once the Move-it Kit has come to the end of its purposeful life it can be recycled, though many may find multiple uses for the items around the house. This kit frees users from the need to have suitable transport for larger, bulky packages. By cutting down on the need for vehicle transport the kit can help reduce the carbon footprint of the item you have purchased.

Tony’s Farm Eco-Packaging is a step towards a more eco-friendly packaging for the leading organic farm in China. The farm wished to use a packaging that was more in fitting with its environmentally aware philosophy. This pulp molded box allows the produce to be safely transported while being reusable, stack-able and sustainable.

Tony’s Farm Eco-Packaging has been envisioned by designer Matthias Burhenne to allow Tony’s Farm in China to be able to transport their organic fruit and vegetables safely to their customers. The molded pulp packaging created from sustainable sources is moisture resistant, helping it to safely hold the produce, it is suitable for reuse and once it has come to the end of its usefulness the packaging can be easily recycled, or composted. Tony’s Farm Eco-Packaging has been designed to allow it to be stack-able, so that the amount of space the empty packaging takes is kept to a minimum.

The boxes are designed to be used to take the produce to the customers, and to be returned for reuse. The packaging boxes though could be useful in a variety of ways in a home. These boxes could make a suitable alternative to plastic bags or plastic boxes often used to transport produce. Though many supermarkets do allow you to reuse cardboard boxes when in store those using online delivery find their produce transported in many plastic bags, carried in plastic carriers. Many stores will collect the plastic bags for recycling, though reducing the amount of plastic used would still be of significant benefit to the environment. It is not known however why the produce pictured has been securely encased in differing plastic wrappers, the boxes would allow you to place in fruit and vegetables unwrapped.

The Vac From The Sea is a concept by Electrolux to create vacuum cleaners from recycled plastic. Rather than using any old plastic they specifically wish to create vacuums from the plastic they will be gathering from the sea, either from floating plastic expanses or from shore lines.

With the Vac From The Sea concept, Electrolux hopes to highlight two major problems with plastic. Firstly the demand for plastic to recycle into more sustainable goods actually outstrips supply, meaning many who wish to create products from recycled plastic can struggle to do so. Secondly, and more importantly, there is a huge amount of plastic in the worlds waters. The oceans of this planet hold great amounts of plastic – there are vast floating island of plastic some, Electrolux informs us, are several times larger than the state of Texas. There is also a large quantity of plastic washed up on the worlds shorelines.

This plastic causes enormous problems for the environment, killing wildlife and destroying surrounding ecosystems. With only around 1% of plastic being recycled the amount of plastic going to waste is staggering. With Vac From The Sea this environmental horror can be turned into a new resource, helping to provide more recycled plastic that can be used to construct useful household items such as these vacuums. Electrolux plan to remove the plastic in different ways depending on the area they are working on, but methods will include diving for the plastic, scooping it from the waves, and clearing coastlines by hand. Hopefully the plastic reclaimed from the sea that is made into these products would never find its way back there. The dream would be that no other plastics find their way to our seas and that this clean up can highlight the action many need to take to recycle.

The Universal Packaging System allows you to pack objects that have an odd shape effectively and help you to have the right sized box on hand at all times. The system comes as a flat sheet that due to its construction can be formed into a range of different shapes.

The Universal Packaging System is a concept created by designer Patrick Sung. The system is a sheet of recyclable corrugated cardboard which has inbuilt patterning. These patterns allow the sheet to be wrapped and formed around even awkward shapes securely. The patterning also allows you to construct a range of box shapes out of the one sheet, helping to ensure that you can always construct a box suitable for what you wish to package.

This concept helps you to save on space, with only a few flat sheets requiring storage for use instead of maybe requiring a range of boxes. As it can be formed around oddly shaped items it can also help save on the use of packaging materials, as often these objects would have to be placed in a larger box and padded securely out will some form of filling material (like polystyrene).

The Universal Packing System should take up less room during transportation to destinations, such as shops, than constructed boxes because it is flat. This would help reduce the number of vehicles required for distribution of packaging items such as boxes. The recyclable system should help reduce the amount of packaging options anyone requires, and lower the quantity of non recyclable packaging they may need to use.

A Belgian company called United Pepper has released a couple of cute yet eco-friendly gadgets for the computer, namely the Lili Webcam and the Oscar USB Hub. United Pepper are delivering quality products using strong ethical and environmental principles. For example, the webcam and usb hub are made in Vietnam in safe working conditions at a fair wage using adult labour. The product itself is stuffed using naturally occuring Kapok tree fibre rather than petroleum-based polyurethane foam.

The USB hub is a pretty standard 4-port USB 2.0 hub in every way apart from it’s appearance and green manufacturing principles. The webcam is a 1.3 MPixel USB webcam that has a built in microphone and can capture 30 frames per second. Just goes to show that cheap gadget stuff does not have to be bad for the environment.
