In 2018, we throw away approximately 1,3 tonnes of food waste in Sweden (Naturvårdsverket, 2018). Food waste could be a valuable source, If we handle it in other ways.
In cooperation with restaurant Vrå, I’ve investigated their food waste, in order to through circular processes search for a sustainable design material.
This takes action according to Sustainable Development Goals, specified in numer 12. To ensure sustainable production we need circular processes and 'Gigas' contributes with new ways to embrace waste management as an interior architect.
