As far as recycling is concerned, nickel stocks don’t exceed sixty years. These stocks are present in Australia, Russia, Canada, New Zealand, Cuba. 60% are used to create inox. Protecting stocks and improving their use is necessary. Nowadays, nickel is recycled at 55%.</br> In France, there are some Nickel directed research projects (Labex Ressources 21 with Baptiste Laubie) that aim at studying strategic elements and the recycling process. Nickel has a big economic importance and it is necessary to focus on news ways of stocking it considering its impact on the biosphere.</p></br> | As far as recycling is concerned, nickel stocks don’t exceed sixty years.

Our Human Practice includes an original approach of social sciences and design. First, we'll go through a detailed explanation of the means and ends of our project and how it fits the actual research on water decontamination. Secondly, the project is presented in a creative and inspiring way through a true sci-fi literature master piece. As a finishing touch, we designed and created a 3D-printed prototype that will be used in Boston for pedagogical purposes and hopefully explain in an original way what we did at the wet lab.
