Description of the project

Summary

The idea is to 3d model the most wasted water bottles shapes in order to guarantee easy access to anyone who wants to create some new object out of them.

So, the starting point is to find out which types of shapes are dropped the most and model them. Then, put them on a library in order to give free access to everyone. As third step, contact authority to put some bottles collectors in the neighborhoods in the area.

Key objectives for sustainability

The project aims to activate a new market from the wasted objects. The hope is to contribute to self-production culture diffusion and inspire the birth of new products useful, beauty and low cost.

Key objectives for aesthetics and quality

The library will be easy to use thanks to skilled UX/UI designer. In the next steps, the website will offer itself a software to combine 3d models and create new objects. 

Key objectives for inclusion

The website will be written totally in English at first in order to guarantee easy reading to everyone. The selected fonts will be readable to people with read disease too (EasyReading font could be an example of what I am saying).

Innovative character

The end of collectible design intended as something that only a few people can afford. Reuse and recycle should be easy to access for everyone and that is what I want to do.
