Waste Care revolutionises citizens' approach to managing household organic waste. Our project empowers citizens to take control of their waste and repurpose it into a valuable resource. Is there a step before composting? What happens if we start to "care" for our waste? Does waste "care" for us?
Our goal with the project:
Our goal is to shift the perception of waste from a disposable entity to a valuable resource. How do we do that?
- From vegetable peels to coffee grounds and tea leaves, rather than discarding nutritious elements into the bin daily, in our workshops we propose simple processes to preserve this waste and use it as materials for our home supplies. (i.e. cleaning product, lip balm, plant fertiliser.)
- We share knowledge and tips on waste properties and provide guidance with hands-on material experimentation.
- By retaining waste disposal we foster a circular domestic economy.
- Our aim is to transform the perception of waste from disgusting to an opportunity for bio-potential repurposing.
- By bringing neighbours together and sharing knowledge we enhance collaboration among the community.
With our project, "Waste Care," our focus is on creating a lasting and sustainable impact by empowering the local community in Eindhoven through small-scale initiatives.
