Planet Friendly

Made from refurbished electronics, Adaptables reduces e-waste.

Adaptables devices are skillfully crafted from computers that would otherwise become e-waste. 54 million tonnes of e-waste was produced in 2022 and this is increasing by 2.6 million tonnes annually. Every device that comes through our studio is refurbished and tested thoroughly, ensuring each Adaptable is built to last.

The Media Timer can play almost every video and audio format available and there is no size limit. Simple images and graphics can be shown individually or grouped together into slideshows. The Media Timer can also display web pages and run creative code outputs, including p5 and processing sketches alongside shell scripts.

Sync Timers
