Live manufacturing

Elliott Montgomery is making people realize the importance of waste management by making them think, not for fun but for a recycled shopping bag. The designer has solar-powered public outreach kiosk that is currently installed in NYC. Using solar energy, the designer creates fabric shopping bags that are made from salvaged materials collected from nearby locations. People who are out for shopping can visit the kiosk and purchase these bags by providing an idea for localized manufacture, materials sourcing and likewise. Apart from making people aware and think about such topics, he’s making sure that your shopping spree goes without having much negative impact on the environment.
