MIND YOUR METAL

DIRAN APELIAN

Metallurgist and Sustainability Pioneer

Diran was recently honored as WPI's Innovator of the Year and has made it his personal mission to be part of a circular economy. Together with fellow thinkers and activists, he is on the forefront of rethinking design, manufacturing practices and education in order to restore the earth as we produce more and more products that use finite natural resources.
 "How do we create value out of waste?  Metals are not renewable; however, they certainly are recoverable, reusable and recyclable. Most products made and consumed today are hybrid monsters that cannot be disassembled, easy fixed, easily recycled. Whose responsibility is it to put the finite elements we are using in products back where we found them?"
