Campaign: How can we increase the reuse of products, reduce production, and make a profitable business out of it?

Different organizations all over the globe are sending thousands of different materials into space. These are made of plastic and different other materials. At a point in time, we may reach satellite saturation which may lead to collisions and eventual raining of microplastics and other debris as pollutants of the future. We could build satellites with boomerang technologies that allow them to return to the original sources after a defined period or on demand. Such an arrangement will allow recycling of materials, avoid future congestion of the space and reduce the total lifecycle cost of satellites.
