'notjustuseless’ was my diploma project aiming to forward a message to ourselves as a consumer society. This design venture plays with the concept of recycling as we know it, bringing it back in a new, refreshing way. It’s approach works by changing this dated, oldfashioned concept through interactively inviting the audience into the designing process, opening a door into a modern perspective and consciousness. Consumers have the largest impact on how the project progresses and form the final design with a simple act, by not throwing away their used drinking straws, but putting them in nearby containers designed for this purpose.
