Photochemical Recycling System

Designers: IDEO and Kiss Manufacturing, Canada

Client: Photochemical Recycling Systems, Canada

In photo labs and radiology departments, millions of gallons of fixer solution carrying unexposed silver goes down the drain each year. This unique device removes the silver, allowing the solution to be reused indefinitely. The mobile, closed-loop system saves not only millions of dollars but the environment too.
