plastik tut

The reflecting on readily available materials led to the question on how far or easily people can get involved in recycling without any special skills needed. The aim was to create a product with a higher value than the original starting product using tools and materials that nowadays everyone owns.

Plastik Tut is a project based on recycling and experimenting with one of the most throw-away products, plastic bags. Due to our rising consumption, the market for packaging and plastic is growing exponentially. Plastik Tut is a product to sensitise people to their consumption and throw-away behaviour. A common pattern is used to show people that there are simple ways of making a throw-away object into a long-time companion by only using an iron.
