RESHAPE WASTE
Next Article
From Waste Material To Real Value
In Denmark, the industry produces 1.1 million tons of waste. Some waste can be downcycled and reused, however, many cut-offs and waste include combined materials and are thereby challenging to recycle or reuse. This is not compatible with the 12th UN global goal of ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns.
The aim of the project is to enhance Danish design and industrial companies’ competence in ‘Reshaping Waste’to redesign and reuse heterogeneous cut-offs and waste materials in a manner that is scalable. In collaboration with industrial and design firms, the project will contribute with exemplars, future designs of reshaping waste.
PROJECT PERIOD: March 2023 - February 2024
PARTICIPANTS:
Industriens fond, Teknologisk Institut, Dansk Industri, 2030 Danish industrial and/or design firms
FUNDING:

We need to think creatively to achieve the sustainable transition. 25% of all CO2 emission comes from the production of consumer products and 80% of this is determined in the design. Let's reshape the future."
