Sustainable makespaces: Choosing materials

In July this year OSCEdays (Open Source Circular Economy) came to Fab Lab London. This open challenge weekend saw a community come together to brainstorm solutions to the four circular economy questions posed.

Inspired by our work at the Innovation Hub we challenged teams to suggest ways that: ‘the worldwide local maker movement and maker places can build sustainable practices and ‘circular thinking’ into their approaches, projects and spaces’

In that vein here is some great advice on choosing materials for your next project:
