Restart Radio: tracing minerals, and “peak stuff”

We discussed our incipient collaboration with Amnesty, Global Witness and Wikirate, which are working to rate companies on their sourcing of minerals, and Amnesty's report on abuses in electronics supply chains in the DRC. And we couldn't help but talk about the IKEA executive who caught headlines when he said that in the West, we may have reached "peak stuff" in households.

Om Podcasten

A bi-monthly podcast from The Restart Project, where we explore fixing triumphs, heartbreaks, and the policy and culture that affects community repair. We go into real depth about good and bad design, obstacles to repair of electronics, emotional aspects of ownership, environmentally irresponsible business models, and the “end of life” of our gadgets. This podcast is for you if you'd like to fix your relationship with electronics. Let’s rethink, restart.
