Abstract	Many of today's students have embraced an environmental ethic and are motivated by efforts to reduce waste or to remanufacture waste into viable products. In-class efforts to reuse and remanufacture waste can be especially motivating. They can also help students develop a better understanding of life-cycle analysis, waste-stream management, design-for-reuse, and other principles that promote cost savings in industry. Technology and engineering teachers and students can greatly benefit from activities that focus on reprocessing paper-based waste rather than discarding it or simply recycling it. In this article, the authors discuss how a laser cutter/engraver can play a role in encouraging students to consider waste stream management. (Contains 8 photos.) (ERIC).
