How often do we think about what our homes are made from and the things that fill them? Of Australia’s 67 million tonnes of waste, more than a third comes from construction and demolition. The concrete, glass, steel, and timber no longer fit for use… But why not? What role can design play in the inherently wasteful, unsustainable building of our homes and the things that fill them? We meet six designers and inventors finding the utility in our forgotten furniture, construction waste, and discarded appliances. Can their creativity save us from catastrophe?Wonderful Waste is a 6 x 10-minute documentary that will be released on YouTube in late 2023.
