About
Standardized Material Recycling and Re-Allocation (SMRR) Program
A state-operated system where all smart materials must be returned after a pre-defined period for recycling or repurposing. This reduces waste and promotes a closed-loop system, but also stifles innovation by restricting customization of these controlled building materials.

Future Scenarios that inspired this product idea
