Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be over, but the push for more sustainable gifts is not. Our holiday deals run through December 11, so you can still get presents that cut waste instead of creating it.

Toolkits keep devices alive and make great gifts for the DIYers in your life.

The Pixel Buds 2a teardown gave us whiplash.

It's a tale of two products. One half looks like the team ran out of time and reached for the glue. The other is like someone said “what if we made it actually repairable” and then did exactly that. Read our analysis at the link below.

We pulled apart the iPhone Air expecting to admire its thinness. We did not expect to find a conspiracy theory involving crop circles.

We spoke with manufacturing experts and reviewed Apple’s disclosures. Read about why it matters for carbon reduction and supply stability below.

New tech is exciting, but constant upgrading comes with a cost. The most sustainable device is the one you already own. Repair it, maintain it, and keep it running longer.

Before you do your Black Friday shopping, watch Buy Now! on @netflix.com and learn more about the overconsumption problem.

What’s inside a disposable vape? A surprisingly good lithium battery… and a whole lot of waste.

2ndChanceMND decided that was nonsense. They’re cracking open vapes and turning them into battery packs powering anything from power tools to e-bikes. Learn more at the link below.

Two people stand behind a vape battery recycling booth with a bright green tablecloth that reads “Recycling Provided by Second Chance Material & Design.” On the left, a bin is labeled “Vape battery recycling” with “Do not dispose batteries” and “Insert here,” and a card with a QR code shows the number “5304.” A handwritten note on the table reads, “Give us your old vapes! We’ll take them and take them apart so we can reuse all the parts. Ask us for more info! Thank you!” Tools, 3D‑printed objects, and small devices cover the table, and a screen behind them displays the words “That’s where we come in.” Two small electronic devices sit on a wooden workbench: a black vape-style device with a screen and buttons, and a larger 3D-printed multicolor component mounted on a white base. Behind them are a box of nitrile gloves, wires, and a large bag filled with discarded circuit boards. A black bicycle with thick off-road tires is parked in a workshop area. A large white 3D-printed component is mounted to the bike’s downtube, partially covering the battery or motor housing. Tool cabinets, stands, and various garage items are visible in the background.
