When toothpaste is almost empty, we either spend ages squeezing the remainder out of the tube or use a pair of scissors. This tube of toothpaste has a jagged end, making the end of the tube easy to tear open. This small change also contributes towards saving resources.

[Share]Tithi Design











My mum asked me to lean the chairs against the wall in case it rains. Firstly, Why don’t we keep that water. Secondly, I’m lazy.I made a garden table that collects water in its central base which can be used for plants and flowers potentially saving 178-510 litres of water a year. (taken from average rainfall in the driest to wettest part of UK)Next to it, the bird feeder which collects water from its roof and channels it into the bird’s bath underneath.Effortless eco-friendly objects.*Finalist InnovationRCA’s Selected Works programme 2007
