New technologies are emerging that convert plastic waste into fuel, making plastic waste a valuable commodity, although this does not address issues like carbon emissions or deforestation.

We eliminated non-biodegradable plastic bags from our products, reducing power consumption significantly; now we use a tenth of the power compared to before.

To reduce costs in defense manufacturing, we need to shift from creating high-end, exquisite products to producing lower-cost items with interchangeable parts.

The modern environmental movement identifies the correct problem of finite resources but fails to propose appealing solutions for economic growth. To make clean technologies cost competitive, we need to massively lower their prices through subsidies and innovation until the innovation curve is crossed.

We are developing a product that starts from CO2 and ends with an edible fruit plant, creating a fully biodegradable and biocompatible product.

As designers, we need to look beyond our own companies and understand what industries are developing new materials and technologies.

We need to get back to interacting with our food differently. The convenience of ultra-processed food has contributed to unhealthy eating habits, and we should find ways to make the preparation of quality food more accessible and commoditized positively.

We can clean up the food industry by stopping harmful subsidies and potentially introducing regulations that limit access to unhealthy food through assistance programs.

3D printing allows us to create homes using cement, which is a common and durable material, enabling us to build structures that are both strong and cost-effective. With 3D home printing, we believe we can reduce the cost of building a home from $6,500 to about $3,000 over time.
