A design graduate hopes to give the morning cuppa a sustainable revamp after inventing a repairable kettle that can be fixed with a screwdriver.
Gabriel Kay has reaped awards for his ‘Osiris’ modular kettle, which is named after the Egyptian god of rebirth. Its interchangeable components mean defective parts can be replaced by anyone with a smattering of DIY know-how.
Kay now hopes his creation can play a role in tackling the growing challenge of e-waste, which reports say is outstripping recycling efforts by a factor of five to one.
