Product and Project description



The heart of my project has been about the wastage of functional objects. Individuals are thought to have potential, is this the same for products? Is there a limit to an objects potential?

Why are some functioning objects thrown away if they still work? For the items like plastic bottles, which fall under "post-consumer waste", it seems wastage to an certain extent is inevitable. We are exposed to copious amounts of plastic bottle waste every day, surely we cannot save every single bottle?

No, but we can do our bit. Phoenix works as a decanter and as a second-life route for plastic bottles, but it also acts a statement for our current ecological situation. We make too much and we waste too much. We need to use what we have now to its full potential.
