Listen "The future of plastic"
Episode Synopsis
📌 The plastic problem has now become a mainstream concern - this does not mean that we, as designers, makers and humans can ignore the problem. This calls for a sensibility in our design approach to plastic - creating smaller, more distributed networks of knowledge which are working together to change the plastic problem. Precious Plastics is a perfect example of a community which has created open source tools to empower behaviour change - and our plastic waste.
📺 This episode comes from the Plastic for Good Challenge held by Distributed Design Market Platform and Precious Plastics.
