INTRO

Within 5 years, DGTL (electronic dance festival) will aim to produce the festival as sustainable as possible. Each year a pillar will be picked to break boundaries. In 2014 this pillar was plastic trash. ​They asked me to create a concept as a showcase for innovation relevant to this pillar, providing information on revolutionary alternatives to the current ways, and create awareness about how this pillar influences their ecological footprint.​ We created an interactive stage, were the plastic was picked up separated en moulded into trashbins in a lowtech way of recycling during the festival. ​

In collaboration with DIRK VAN DER KOOIJ a mould was designed to mould the plastic PP cups into trash bins. By showing the manufacturing process on the festival, the visitors were educated about the possibilities of recycling. (Picture on the right)
