ReFab Home Recycler
A home machine that turns your recyclables into useful new objects.
The Challenge
A broken recycling system: moving recycling from centralized failure to distributed, visible action.
The Vision
Only a small fraction of what consumers put in the bin is ever actually recycled. ReFab is an at-home fabrication unit: feed it your recyclable material, choose a product, and it manufactures the item on the spot, closing the loop in your own garage.
