Theme:
Futurism
Will we be using and consuming in very different ways in the
future? Making better use of what we’ve already got? With modular
buildings that are designed to be taken apart and repurposed, packaging
made from biodegradable fungi and seaweed rather than petroleum, having
most of our needs provided within revitalised local economies rather
than a global market? What’s already happening in this space? What’s the
Circular Economy? With countries like China refusing to take our
garbage any more, and State governments writing Circular Economy
strategies, we need to find ways to design products that reduce waste.
How can we get there?
