we all reuse

we all reuse is a non profit site that designed to be edited and maintained by the designers themselves. It was  founded in 2000 as a an online trading site for second hand goods called junkfox, which went through many research phases, user surveys, pilot stages and funding proposals with partners including LB Camden, University of East London and LCRN. The trading site was mothballed in 2007, with a community site running until 2001 as a pilot directory and resource.

we all reuse as it finally stood aimed to;

• Encourage and publicise the work of designers and manufacturers who reuse industrial and consumer waste.

• Promote reuse as one of the most effective ways of reducing our consumption and therefore our impact on the environment

• Showcase interesting ideas and share our experiences

• Provide a private network where designers and other organisations can meet to discuss the issues of working with reclaimed materials.

Through this project I was invited to become an RSA fellow, and have recently worked with the RSA and LCRN to look at new ways to develop new mobile tools for reuse.
