Disassembly

Disassembly embraces the idea that the whole is not necessarily greater than the sum of its parts. A product that can be easily disassembled can be easily repaired-just take off the damaged part, fix it or replace it, and pop it back on-so it's less likely to be thrown away for something entirely new. When it's outlived its use, it can be taken apart-smaller pieces are easier to transport and recycle. Disassembly is an important element of sustainable product design, because it reduces waste and limits unnecessary consumption.

   Kelvin (K)

Ever wonder what "white-hot" really means? Kelvin has the answer. It is the scale for the color temperature of light. Red- or yellow-toned lights have a lower color temperature (around 3000K), while white- or blue-toned lights have a higher temperature (5000 or 6000K). In Kelvin, absolute zero-the point at which an object emits no color or energy whatsoever-is 0 K.
