Plastic Forms -/-

Several months ago Thor3D (a 3D scanner developer: www.thor3Dscanner.com) received two dozen boxes with casings for the Calibry scanners from our injection molding manufacturer. They were all, unfortunately, defective! What was supposed to be a perfectly smooth, shiny, white plastic was covered in gray spots. The supplier quickly sent us a new batch, but a question remained: what to do with the defective lot? We couldn’t just throw them out, as it would go against our aspiration of being a totally “green” company. We had to find a purpose for this plastic. We had to give it a second life.

Then, a “lightbulb” moment. We could give these casings to an artist, who would use these surfaces as a canvass. Then, we would sell the resulting artwork and donate the proceeds to a green, international non-profit. We chose the Global Footprint Network (www.footprintnetwork.org) to donate to, as the organization does a lot of work in sustainability and biodiversity.
