Waste: The Raw Material of The Future
Award-winning journalist, comms strategist and author of Wasted: When Trash Becomes Treasure (Ludion), Katie Treggiden, will take to the Surface Design Show Main Stage with an insightful perspective on waste—the idea that it's not a fact, but merely a category. If we can categorise used objects and materials as waste, surely we can recategorise them as exciting new raw materials. She will then chair a lively debate with panellists, Lay Koon Tan, Dean Connell, Izzy Kelly and Sara Howard*, exploring whether waste is indeed the raw material of the future or whether creating new demand for waste streams is part of the problem.
