Possible criteria for a new design
✔ Does the product consist of materials that are digged out without oppression?
✔ Is it produced in a senseful, uninterrupted workflow?
✔ Has it multiple uses?
✔ Is it long-lasting?
✔ In which condition do you throw it away, and what happens then?
✔ Does it make the user dependent on central services or can it be used independently?
✔ Does it privilege the user or stimulates commonality?
✔ Is it freely choosable, or does it enforce additional purchases?
