Due to the rapid growth of the mechanical keyboard industry, more people are becoming consumers while thinking about the sustainability of the brands they purchase from. It has struck me that I have produced a substantial amount of plastic waste just as an individual being a part of this community.

 

‘onikeyri’ is a keyboard-centric start-up selling keyboards, keycaps and related equipment making use of biodegradable and recyclable materials. There are countless companies and small businesses within the mechanical keyboard industry however, the majority of them are not sustainable due to the materials they use in their packaging or manufacturing process. I also take this as an opportunity to make use of this project to kick start my own small business in the near future.
