How does it work?

During the need for brainstorming either alone or inside a group, forcing the mind to think in a specific flow can help emerging innovative ideas that won’t be possible to reach using a regular thinking flow. The SCAMPER technique aims to provide seven different thinking approaches to find innovative ideas and solutions.This technique is based simply on the idea that what is New is actually modification of existing old things around us, which can be recycled, revamped , reproduced and reused.

One of the many examples is the recycling of Toothpaste Tube that was recycled into different sustainable ways for house hold use.
