The amount of waste generated mainly in developed economies is a problem to be tackled if we ought to try to solve the environment crisis. By giving waste a new life under the soul of a new product, we can contribute to a greener future for our planet.

DIY Skateboard from Waste

“DIY SKATEBOARD From Waste” is a skateboard built from stuff people trow away. By utilizing an open source philosophy, my goal is to promote the sport of skateboard and to help people to be aware of what can be done with a little bit of creative power.
