"In a micro-factory the size of a garden shed, big minds are tackling a tiny problem: How to use the software that built a laptop to carefully dismantle it, robotically harvesting and sorting its components for reuse and recycling. A few years ago, most of these aging consumer workhorses might have ended up on a scrap heap. But innovators at Molg, with help from Autodesk technology, are efficiently transforming the raw materials of end-of-life products into a more sustainable future. For Autodesk and its customers, this little laptop is a major sign that we’re moving in the right direction."
