What do you do for the environment?

We try to be sensible, even on a small scale. A lot of what we work with is used, vintage, repurposed, or recycled rather than newly manufactured from scratch, which means part of the project is already based on reuse instead of disposal. When we make 3D-printed parts, we currently use PLA, and we also try to reduce waste during production and reuse leftover material whenever possible, including in practical ways such as protective packaging.

More broadly, one of the ideas behind NOW IN TIME is that older technology, obsolete-looking objects, and forgotten formats do not need to be treated as trash just because they are no longer current. That does not make the project perfect from an environmental point of view, and we are not pretending otherwise. But it is a real effort, and if the project grows, we would like to support more concrete and more serious environmental initiatives over time.

We also donate 1% of our income through Stripe to environmental causes, check the section below (not loading? Use this link).
