Waste is a product of everyday life.
It is a byproduct of our existence and our disproportionate way of life. Will waste take over our space?
We will track the path of a disposable coffee cup from its manufacture to its demise exploring the manufacture, packaging, shipping and disposal.
And take a look inside!
Examples of locations to be visited:
Pre-manufacture:
Forrest for paper products (Pacific Northwestern USA)
Cradle to cradle.
Their is not "waste" in nature.
It is a closed loop.
Right?

were not talking about "waste" in nature, our proposal deals with our consumerism and our general disconnect with the processes involved in common made purchases.

In considering our proposal we were envisioning our target audience would not have a consciousness of "cradle to cradle." What we were choosing to highlight was the lifetime and demise of an object, and what happens to it after its disposal. Where is this space, how does it get there, and what happens when this space reaches capacity?

Power of Waste
Waste is a product of everyday life.
It is a byproduct of our existence and our disproportionate way of life. Will waste take over our space?
We will track the path of a disposable coffee cup from its manufacture to its demise exploring the manufacture, packaging, shipping and disposal.
And take a look inside!
Examples of locations to be visited:
Pre-manufacture:
Forrest for paper products (Pacific Northwestern USA)
Packaging:
Disposable foodservice containers (Panama)
Transport:
Ship Yards, Rail Yards (Hamburg, Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong)
Disposal:
Active Landfills (Egypt)
Oceanic Trash Vortexes (Pacific, Atlantic)
Cities exporting trash (NYC)
Recycling Initiatives: (Germany, Sweden)
Incinerators (Alexandria VA)
Biomass power production (Bennington VT)
How can we re-use the space of waste?
Post Waste:
Fresh Kills (NY)
Byxbee Park (San Francisco)
La Vall d’en Joan (Barcelona)
