NO WASTE STUDENTS LAB
We asked the help of students from the HKU University of the Arts Utrecht. The students, part of the minor: Design for Social Change, are contributing to the research that’s leading up to a new design challenge in What Design Can Do’s programme. In this lab, they were joined by students from Design Academy Eindhoven, Hogeschool Amsterdam,
to look into five subtopics: medicine in wastewater, textile waste and fast fashion, plastic waste, cigarette waste and waste management systems. Through design research they will follow the steps of collecting data, mapping and creating cause diagrams. Related to their research topics they will conduct interviews with stakeholders and problem owners. The outcome of their research will be used as input for the overarching research for the challenge that is executed by STBY.
