> We, at Monash, RMIT and Melbourne Universities (as a Victorian Eco
> Innovation Lab initiative www.ecoinnovationlab.com) are currently
> running an inter-university collaborative pilot study which may be
> relevant to the instigation design discussion. We have been
> developing a design system of component re-use which we have coined
> ‘redesign’. Redesign poses the possibilities of extended
> personalisation, mass customisation, component reuse and
> alternative product life-cycles. We are interested in testing new
> methods and strategies which could become commercially viable in
> the Australian and Asia-Pacific region for a probable future of
> legislated Extended Product Responsibility, Carbon offsetting and
> growing concern for increasing landfill levels.
