Motivating user compliance

Sungwoo Park designed a used battery collector. It may have some usability/reliability issues, but in spite of this I think it's a neat idea because it helps motivate user compliance. Anyone using the device to dispose of batteries gets some feedback--albeit indirectly. [via Gizmodo]

Return Pot - Electrolux Design Lab 2007 Finalist
















a very interesting project on Electrolux Design Lab 2007.
An idea from, Juan Ying-Hao from Cranbrook Academy of Art, Usa: Return pot is a home device, decomposes PLA based bags/bottles into food for plant.

I'm interested in there nature based plastic resins, but not in a very positive way, it isconcerning that they are using a material which is also FOOD.


PLA is a new polymer, made from corn. Here are two links, both defines the PlA then talks about some arguments about the polymer's sustainability..
