HELLO INDUSTRY!

Today is a big day for Phonebloks. We are truly excited to share our newest Phonebloks video with you. We also have some good news to share.

It’s been over 6 months since the Phonebloks’ Thunderclap and so much has happened with modular technology since then. Phonebloks started as an idea, but we’ve grown into something much larger than we ever anticipated. We’ve grown into a movement. A movement for a phone worth keeping. 

We have been working with Google’s Project Ara team and are excited with what they are developing, but Phonebloks is not about one company. It’s about an entire industry. It’s our mission to steer the industry towards modular thinking. That’s why we are excited to share with you that we have a new partner onboard, Sennheiser! They are known for developing High-end audio products and would love to use their expertise in developing bloks.

Watch our latest video to learn more and thank you for your continued support for Phonebloks.

And a smaller shorter portion can be viewed on the DfD aspect of this at:

However, we'd like to think about how 'Active Disassembly' (AD) could be incorporated into such a great concept. The short answer to this question is, YES.

Phonebloks is about a 'Design for Modules' (DfMod) concept, an Eco-Design technology method to extend product component lives and adapt the product structure with upgradable components and technology within the existing or new modules.

Because AD technology offers controlled disassembly within a hierarchical regime, AD can be used to frame the modules. Further to this, there are more advance options of the technology that can be applied. For example, connection devices could be controlled by electronic triggering which in itself can be triggered with latent battery power while the phone or candidate product

This can be considered a mastery of 'Design for Modules' (DfMod). This is a great example of 'Design for Disassembly' (DfD) Concept. If this can make the market, this will be a great interpretation of Eco-Design.
