Matt Ritchie – “Scrap Drives”

Matt Ritchie, a graphic designer working out of New Hampshire, has developed a product called “Scrap Drives” in an effort to raise awareness regarding the current process of manufacturing, and recycling, USB flash drives. The project stems from Ritchie’s research into the life cycle of ‘throw-away’ technology such as flash drives; finding a void in terms of both innovation and design, he generated this product line. The drives are handcrafted out of recycled materials, with their exterior casings and packaging using 100% naturally sourced products.
