This document summarizes a design research project that aims to minimize future urban landfill and promote more eco-centric attitudes towards plastic waste. The research explores re-use and up-cycling strategies for urban plastic trash through design workshops. These workshops act as a social research method that engages participants directly in creatively transforming plastic waste into new objects, encouraging novel ideas for depolluting oceans of plastic and visualizing more sustainable futures for waste disposal.
