(Archive) Beyond Disposal

The kick-off of a design project about household waste.

This project was part of DDW 2023

F O R M is starting a multi-year lab-project on how we can better deal with household waste. The “Beyond Disposal” expo is about where design often starts: insight & inspiration. Instead of finding answers this phase of the project is about asking questions and exploring tangents.

Past

Before looking at how household waste is being disposed of today. It is interesting to look at how waste was handled in past times. History can provide context on why the things are how they are today.

Now

The relation between society and household waste today is complex and multifaceted. Understanding what household waste means today - in the broadest sense - is going to be essential for our design process.

Future

Without trying to solve anything yet - it can be very helpful to look at what developments are around the corner that could impact household waste in the future.
