Coots as Partners in Circular Care
Certain waterbirds have adapted to the city life by weaving human waste into their nests. Meer Koet, Minder Afval transforms this behaviour into a collaboration. Custom-designed floating platforms invite all waterbirds to breed safely on urban canals. While building nests, birds such as coots gather human litter from the water. After the breeding season, the nests full of human waste are collected, sorted, and recycled, making coots active participants in urban waste management.
