In the western world, we strive for our standard of convenient living…so much we’ve created a (literal) deep trench to dig ourselves out of via throwaway culture. Materials are rarely thrown away—they’re just put somewhere else to be dealt with by another community.

Join us for this hybrid panel discussion, including reps from Bennet Compost, Fab Scrap, Bottle Underground, Rabbit Recycling, and The Resource Exchange, centered on systems of material consumption, closing the loop, and what the future of waste culture could look like.
