post-design process

i think this is a great start for the end of a product’s lifecycle:

i love my job. however, the downside of it is that i’m contributing to a consumer process which normally results in eventual landfill waste. once a product leaves the factory, its demise to end up in a heap somewhere has already begun. it is a bit comforting to know that some good can come of the waste that is propagated by the industrial design community.
