We will be making backpacks out of duct tape that are durable and waterproof but use minimal duct tape. Duct tape is non-recyclable and takes 1000 years to break down in the environment, as shown by duct tape that has broken down in Lake Ontario. The challenge is to design an effective duct tape backpack while limiting environmental impact through material reduction.

2. We will be making FANTASTIC
Duct Tape Back Packs

3. Duct tape is 100% non recyclable
It takes 1000 years
for it to BREAKDOWN in the environment

6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a

Ontario

7. How can we make a duct tape back pack that is durable, water proof etc.--
But also tries to minimize that amount of duct tape used ?

8. What is an engineer to do?
