          <p class="lede">A lockable container-based sister site near the Straddie waste centre could help useful things find a repair, parts or recycling pathway before they become waste. The deeper stream map now lives in Straddie Tip Loop Lab, while this page shows how the idea connects back to the maker-space.</p>

The dedicated Tip Loop Lab can carry the detailed material streams, field records, governance notes and microfactory experiments.</p>
