Coffee cups made from waste coffee granules
Atticus Durnell is one of three designers in my book working with coffee waste – the coffee grounds your barista taps into the bin with your every morning latte. He has transformed them into granite-like composite from which he makes furniture, accessories, lighting and coffee cups. #MadeFromWaste #TrashBecomesTreasure #Circularity #CircularEconomy #CircularByDesign #MadeFromCoffee #EcoCups
Desk with pink scallop shells set in eco-resin
As part of their Exploring Eden collection Bethan Gray and Nature Squared set pink scallop shells — a waste product from food production — into a black eco-resin to show off their zig-zag cross-section. The project is part of a wider environmental stewardship initiative that sees fisherman generate extra income that they can invest into more environmentally responsible fishing nets. #sustainablehomeware #scallopshells #recycledscallopshells #recycledfoodwaste #ecoresin #bethangray
How the design world is tackling the global food waste problem
Bethan Grey uses shells that are discarded as part of food preparation to create sustainable homeware, providing extra income for fisherman, so it's good for people and planet too. #MadeFromWaste #sustainablehomeware #scallopshells #recycledscallopshells #recycledfoodwaste #ecoresin #bethangray
