Perpedes is a non-profit initiative dedicated to building open-source, community-driven solutions for sustainable living. We believe that sustainable living should not be a luxury. By combining open-source principles with practical products, we're making sustainability accessible to everyone.
Our five projects—Open Hardware, Sustainable Mobility, Lib-re Phone, Green Clothing, and Bio-Materials—work together to create a holistic approach to sustainable living. Each project operates under open principles, sharing knowledge, designs, and methods with the global community.
Our Principles
- Transparency: All designs, code, and processes are openly documented.
- Repairability: Products are designed to be repaired, not replaced.
- Community Empowerment: Knowledge sharing enables local adaptation and innovation.
- Circular Economy: Materials and products stay in use as long as possible.
