Rather than make new devices that will turn into e-waste after the event, we're recycling old price tags into networked conference badges. github.com/osresearch/eink-pri

@th I'm confused. Why are these being used as price tags? Seems a bit silly to begin with.

@Capheind @th my thoughts exactly. i endorse not contributing to e waste but what stores use networked price tags like this?

@Capheind
They can tie them into their inventory system and keep them up to date. Also reuse for different products. Avoids printing new tags everytime a price changes.

@th just a tiny nitpick, but wouldn't this be reusing instead? as in reduce>reuse>recycle.

@th really glad this type of project is gaining more traction. I recently dumpstered an eink pricetag from trader joes in the US and was hoping someone had figured out a simple way to reuse it.

in berlin I noticed the lidl is using almost 100% eink price tags and they are using multi color ones now too
