Build a Waste-Free World - Keep Wales Tidy

We live in a world that is often dominated by ‘stuff’. We are encouraged to buy new stuff, use it, throw it away and then start again.

If we took inspiration from nature, we would make sure that we designed things and processes to not cause damage to our environment, last longer, be easy to repair and be simple to turn into something else when we have finished with it.

For this challenge you could consider:

Reducing single-use products

Food waste from farm to fork

The impact of clothing and textiles

Following the waste hierarchy to Reduce, Reuse and Repair before we Recycle

Finding a new use for a waste product

How renewable are the materials that our stuff is made from
