Develop material assessment and transformation skills while tracking circular economy innovations, repair culture movements, and waste-to-resource technologies. We follow developments in material recovery, visible mending, and community-scale remanufacturing, always seeking creative approaches to extending object lifespans and reducing waste streams.
Learn to evaluate discarded materials for reuse potential, understand material properties, and develop systematic approaches to salvage operations.
Safely disassemble electronic devices, harvest reusable components, and transform e-waste into functional or artistic creations.
Cut, shape, and repurpose glass bottles and containers into functional objects, decorative pieces, and building materials.
Work with salvaged metal materials through cutting, joining, and welding techniques to create functional and sculptural pieces.
Process and reshape plastic waste using heat forming, shredding, and molding techniques for new functional and creative uses.
Transform paper and cardboard waste into structural materials, packaging alternatives, and creative applications through pulping, laminating, and construction techniques.
Master repair techniques across materials while embracing visible mending aesthetics that celebrate rather than hide the repair process.
Restore and rehabilitate discarded furniture and household objects through structural repair, refinishing, and creative reimagining.
Create artistic works by combining salvaged materials, found objects, and discarded items into meaningful assemblages and installations.
