What happens to stuff we throw away? Three designers explore the 'sci-fi' world of our discarded products. How did they get there? [ Ссылка ]

“The Great Recovery” [ Ссылка ] brought together three designers – Rich Gilbert from “The Agency of Design” [ Ссылка ] , Alexander Groves from “Studio Swine” [ Ссылка ] and Thomas Thwaites [ Ссылка ] and gave them a first-hand insight into what happens to products when they are thrown away.

This short documentary follows them as they experience “something out of a sci-fi movie” which is the huge industrial process of energy from waste, a family run textile recycling business and some innovative ways to preserve the life of a product.

The purpose behind this first design residency is to bring waste facilities and designers together in order to knowledge share and spark discussions in how design can make a difference to the end of life of products and how consumers recycle their unwanted products.
