Worthy
A product family of rechargeable and repairable electrical products.
Electrical waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world and small electrical equipment create the biggest part of it. This project aims to tackle the problem of e-waste by extending the lifetime of electrical products and reviving the repair economy. Worthy helps consumers understand their products more through storytelling by allowing them to assemble products themselves. This creates an opportunity to learn about the components so that, in the future, repairing is seen as an easy and cost-efficient thing to do.
