How many lives do our electronics have?
Most, get only one before being discarded,
but we believe that if there was a way
to showcase their potential,
maybe people would think about
giving them a second chance.
Alright, here is the tour,
set number one, circuit boards,
set number two over there,
completely made out of keyboards,
and all the way over on this side we got,
set number three, laptops.
These sets were made from e-waste,
electronic waste given a second chance
at one of the largest facilities
of its kind in the United States.
There I learned that globally
while the rest ends up in landfills all over the world.
Given to people like Dell,
these old gadgets have the potential
to be recycled into brand new computer parts.
And it's more than just the expensive stuff
it's all the accessories that come with it
like mice, cables and adapters.
All we needed was to convince more people to recycle
so we decided to build something
people would hopefully want to talk about.
Entire worlds showcasing the past
powering the future.
We built our sets from scratch
using simple pieces of wood
lifted into position with the help of volunteers
that joined us from all over the country.
Together, we spent days
experimenting with different patterns
to see what would work and what didn't.
Piece by piece,
our structure slowly started coming to life
Just like a new laptop, born from recycled parts.
From there, all that remained
was to add the human component,
representing the everyday person
which is the most important part
of the recycling machine.
All the pieces we used in this project
were collected by Dell's global recycling program
which collects devices of any brand, make or model
to be reborn into new computer parts.
Although it may look like junk,
parts like these old circuit-boards can contain up to
Yet we're throwing away
these valuable pieces into landfills
instead of giving them a second chance.
We're just a small group of creatives
that came together hoping to make a difference.
But we believe that when companies collaborate
with the everyday person to create social impact,
that's when we can start to build a brighter future.
