Small change, big difference

Taking a toothbrush as an example Dave looks at how in our large scale global productions a small change could have a huge impact. We could often make things smaller, without loosing function or aesthetics. This would decrease the amount of materials used and make transport more efficient helping the environment without real loss for the end user experience.

These days we use wooden toothbrushes :) keeping on topic you could watch Good design with recycled plastic from Vicente, have a look at Precious Plastic products on our Bazar or check out how Arabs have been brushing their teeth for 7000 yrs.
