Our Partners

We collaborate with organizations, companies, labs, schools and others engaged in frugal science, extremely-affordable product design, sustainable materials, and green chemistry as examples.

We might add their product to our Cat490 catalog, work on a project together, share resources, etc.

Help us find other organizations that we might work with to help achieve our mutual goal of lifting people up with useful products and appropriate technologies.
