A NEW WORLD WITH CREDO RECYCLE:

Cradle to Cradle Design (sometimes abbreviated to C2C or in some circles referred to as regenerative) is a synthetic approach to the design of systems. It models human industry on nature's processes in which materials are viewed as nutrients circulating in healthy, safe metabolisms. It suggests that industry must protect and enrich ecosystems and nature's biological metabolism while also maintaining safe, productive technical metabolism for the high-quality use and circulation of organic and synthetic materials.
With C2C all materials used in industrial or commercial processes (metals, fibers, dyes, etc) are seen to fall into one of two categories: "technical" or "biological" nutrients.

• Technical nutrients are strictly limited to non-toxic, non-harmful synthetic materials that have no negative effects on the natural environment; they can be used in continuous cycles as the same product without losing their integrity or quality.
  
• Biological Nutrients are organic materials that, once used, can be disposed of in any natural environment and decompose into the soil, providing food for small life forms without affecting the natural environment. This is dependent on the ecology of the region.
  

Currently, many human beings come into contact or consume, directly or indirectly, many harmful materials and chemicals on daily basics. C2C seeks to remove dangerous technical nutrients from current life cycles. If the materials we come into contact with and are exposed to on a daily basis are not toxic and do not have long term health effects, then the health of the overall system can be better maintained. We can establish a rapport between waste and food: it is the basic concept of C2C; it consist in waste matirials that becoming food for bugs, insects and other small forms of life who can feed on it, decompose it and return it to the natural environment which we then indirectly use for food ourselves.

BALLJACK:

We have thought an object for Leopold that can accompany him for all his life.
We have imagined a little jacket as those from mechanic, seen his great passion for toy cars.
To this garment it is applied a series of toy balloons that develop the function to protect him when he is beaten by his mother because, throwing a rope, they inflate.
When Leopold grows the garmet it turns him into a belt that he can comfortably use during its job that is to be a mechanic of the Ferrari.

The materials that we have used are all recyclable:

• to make the jacket we have used the hemp that derives from a plant, once that the jacket is not used anymore it can be planted for getting a new hemp plant.

• To build balloons we used the latex that is found in the mushrooms and so it is a natural product; once used, the balloons become chewins gum that if they are not chewed they loosen without polluting the environment.

• to produce the reflector we have used the nikel, mineral that is found in the mines and that it is easily combinabile with others mineral therefore it is recyclable.
  

A TOY TO RUN AWAY:

This is the story of Leopold Stuart: he was born in Ginevra, Switzerland in 24-04-1990.
His father, Kevin, is a newspaper editor and is a very kindful and generous person instead of his mather that is a very stressful and stingy woman and she doesn't work.
When Leopold was a child he was very happy and sunny, he loved play with lego and also with the playmobils. The thing that he loved to do more was play with the toy cars.
His family was apparently happy but with the passage of time his parents did nothing but quarrel so when Leopold was 17 years old they decided to separate.
Leopold was very upsetted and soffer much for that incident.
The court decided to entrust Leopold to the mother but she, shocked from the separation, would not stop beating him taking care of being the cause of all her problems; after this bad period he decided to run away from mother's home and moved by his father.
Leopold was initially happy to live with his father but unfortunately he realized that his father gave him the attentions of a time because he was engaged; for this reason Leopold decided to move to Italy for study and become a Ferrari mechanic, to see his cars running as dreamed as a child.

THE DIABOLO'S MAP:

We want to talk about a simple and common object called Diabolo; this toy is predominantly used by children in their childhood. The Diabolo, also called Diablo, is composed of four parts: cup, chopsticks, thread and screw.

• CUP: is made of plastic that is obtained from two materials: polietilene that is a termoplastic resin, recyclable meccanically or chimically and acetate that is composed by two materials: vinegar and bicarbonate of soda (both recyclables). Plastic came from Italy, Belgium, Germany and French.
• CHOPSTICK: is composed by aluminium that is a ductive metal which soffers a production process: fusion, shaping and presswork. It came from Fondermat s.p.a (Italy).
• THREAD: is in white nylon that is a synthetic poliamminic and is also recyclable. It came from JCT LTD (India).
• SCREW: in made of aluminium.It came from Fondermat s.p.a (Italy).
  

The Diablo is a toy distribuited all over the world and is packaged (in cardboard box), manufactered and building in an italian fabric: Play s.r.l.
If you need a Diabolo you can go in a toys center and buy it; Diabolo is a very simple toy which doesn't cost too much and being built with different pieces, if one of these breaks is easly to repair.
