The Module Project

About the offering

Because our beautiful planet needs protection. We believe a majority of current consumer technology manufacturers are disrespecting their customers and the planet we all call home. Drastic change is needed. Module wants to lead that change. In our view, a vast proportion of current consumer technology products are designed with intentionally short lifespans. This practice is causing irreparable damage. We maintain that these products fail too soon. That they are difficult and expensive to repair. They are impossible to upgrade. Our research suggests they are seldom recycled correctly at end of service. These products contain many rare-earth minerals. Extraction of these minerals is extremely destructive, as are the energy-intensive manufacturing processes required to turn them into usable products. These products could, and should be designed to last longer. So Why Aren’t They? We've concluded that there can only be one, very simple reason. That reason? That for many companies, selling you a new version of the same product as rapidly as possible is their business model. It would follow that these companies pay little regard to the negative environmental impact of their behavior. It’s profit at almost any cost. This outdated approach needs to end. Enter Module. Module intends to create the longest lasting technology products yet created. These products will adhere to our three main company principles. Upgradeability, repairability and recyclability. Upgradeability allows our customers to upgrade components of any Module product themselves. Repairability allows the owner of the product, or a service agent to quickly and easily repair any fault. Modular design and meticulous material selection allow far greater recyclability at end of service.
