Wonderful Waste

Of Australia's 67 million tonnes of waste, more than a third comes from construction and demolition. The concrete, glass, steel, and timber no longer fit for use... But why not? What role does design have to play in the inherently wasteful, unsustainable building of our homes and the things that fill them. Six key designers and inventors are finding the utility in our forgotten furniture, binned plastics, construction waste, and discarded appliances. Exploring the origins of their passion for sustainability, Wonderful Waste follows them as they pave the way to a brighter future. A future that is not only more beautiful and more sustainable, but one in which the benefits can be experienced by all.
