Wonderful waste

Gradually everybody is becoming more aware of the amount of waste
we as humans produce and the way we are dealing with this waste.
Funny thing is, in nature there is no such thing as waste since every
element within the various ecosystems has a function and contribution,
and in such is not wasteful. We as humans should alter our perspective
and become aware of the potential of what we call ‘waste’ nowadays.
We are well on our way on this route to awareness, but I think people’s
creativity needs to be sparked to trigger a way of thinking; that our
waste is actually wonderful and useful for a lot of things. Great
examples of initiatives that stimulate this way of thinking and provide
the essential materials and inspiration are Buurman, Scrap and
Superuse Studios, all based in Rotterdam.
