<aside> 🌎 In the past we relied on a limited supply of natural raw materials, which needed to be shipped around the world to eventually become a product, only to discard them right after use. Our planet has limits, and soon we won't be able to use this method of creating products anymore.
</aside>
<aside> 👭 In order to improve sustainability we need people from multiple disciplines to collaborate, like designers, scientists, and artisans. This way we can gather knowledge about both the materials and the application.
</aside>
<aside> 🗑 Human and animal biological waste is a great exploitable resource since they don't have much utility. Hence the name waste. And with a growing population we have access to an endless inventory of our waste products.
</aside>
<aside> 💨 When buried in a landfill feces release methane, a greenhouse gas, into the environment. This might sound bad, but if harvested correctly we can use methane as fuel to generate power.
</aside>
<aside> 💩 We have huge quantities of shit that grow with our population. It's renewable and biodegradable (but not without consequences).
</aside>
<aside> 💇 The same goes for hair. It's sustainable and abundant as long as humans will exist.
</aside>
<aside> 🍚 We can turn the both of them into Dust, which can be turned into many products and materials.
</aside>
<aside> 🤢 These resources don't sound very appetizing, but try to be aware of how many products we use daily are distasteful in their own way. Some products are yielded under terrible circumstances for workers, or even by child labour. There are many factors that can induce disgust, but for practicality we choose to be oblivious to them. What does disgust mean to you, and why exactly do you think about it that way?

<aside> 🇳🇱 Dutch design Finding a different application for materials we know.
</aside>
<aside> ♻️ There is a circular system in the production and use of products.
</aside>
<aside> 🚽 "Sometimes you have to set aside the idea of the origin of a product" Waste products are already used for many purposes, like in construction and cleaning processes.

<aside> 🚽 Dust matters You could tell by the dust where the materials come from [...]

<aside> 👱 Kaz: "when the product is in use, people do not always have to know".

<aside> 👩 **Britt: "**from a branding perspective, It can be a great selling point. there are brands that assert aging as a part of the product that we have to embrace"
</aside>
<aside> 👩 Kim: i think most people would rather buy sustainable products.
</aside>
<aside> 👩 **Loes: "**things like Vegan materials are not always applied in a vegan product, which almost devaluates the principleof a product."
</aside>
<aside> 👦 Andrei**:** "Not important at all ".
</aside>
<aside> 👩 Sam**:** "the way we use and discard products is a bit bizarre".
</aside>
<aside> 👩 Kim: We mostly buy products for their use. The origin of the matierials used. usually comes second and is less important than the appplication. From a marketing perspective, you have to cover negative stories about the origin at all times.

<aside> 👱 Andrei: "Companies like McDonalds claim that all the cows used for their burgers had a great life, but at the same time their chicken nuggets are made from the cheapest meat grown in the worst locations. "
