About Perpedes

Perpedes is a non-profit organization 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 four projects—Open Hardware, 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.
