Product Dispersion

Product Dispersion is the process getting rid of products/things. Examples include garage sales, recycling, donations, littering and recycling, etc. We picked several major categories to demonstrate product dispersion: fashion, technology, and food.


In the fashion category, people can get rid of clothes via hand-me-downs, donations, and garage sales. Here is a video about Buffalo Exchange, a used clothing store in Austin, Texas. The manager shared with us how the clothing exchange store works and how they accept or decline clothing.

Now that technology is constantly improving, people are getting rid of their electronics at a faster pace. This leads to an overload of old, unused electronics. In this video, we feature Goodwill's electronics section. Here is an employee from Goodwill talking about how fast electronics sell.

In the food category, food can be eliminated through compost, landfills and waste-water systems like in-sink kitchen disposals. In this video, we talked to the manager at Torchy's Tacos, a popular eatery in Austin, Texas about disposing of unused food in a restaurant.
