Wintersemester 2017/2018, BA/MA Produkt-Design

relab – recycling laboratory

The relab (recycling laboratory) is the result of an experimental case study conducted as a bachelor's project. It seeks to disrupt our wasteful material flow at the khb by offering a variety of ways to keep the value of materials up – saving them from the trash.

 

At the relab headquarters materials can be swapped against other materials. Regular events at the galaxibar aim to open up a space for conversation about designing for sustainability and impact. Other elements of the project are the free buffet, which offers a space to exchange objects and the outside storage that houses the larger materials.

 

Want to be part of the relab team?

Active members are essential to keep the relab system running and evolving.
