Regen: collaborative co-production of upcycled products.

This paper attempts to look at sharing from three angles - community, environment and technology. Sharing is approached as co-production where what is shared is not simply material goods but rather ideas, creativity, pleasure and experience. The paper outlines making as an intrinsic attribute of human nature and how sharing and making can complement each other. Further, it discusses the creation of waste and upcycling as a way of uniting sustainability with making. The paper proposes a solution in the form of an online collaborative community for upcycling products, called Regen. The details of the interaction with the solution are outlined and the solution is analyzed using Triandisu0027 Theory of Interpersonal Behaviors (TIB).
