Projekt aims to be a sustainable, minimalistic jewelry line created from e-waste. Designed to be deployed in Hong Kong, and created out of two entrepreneurial minds from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Projekt is one of a kind in the sustainable consumer market.Tons of electronic waste are accumulated every year that causes life threatening hazards for children and everyone involved. In fact, all the electronics we throw away like phones, computers, even electronic PCB parts we get at labs - have so much precious metal in them that urban mining now has a very bright prospect in becoming one of the most sustainable ways of mining. With that objective in mind, Projekt will design workshops for students of HKUST to get familiar with the type of waste we can get from our daily life devices and how we can turn them into classy and chic jewelry!
