From linear to circular approach
The reason why this process is not very sustainable is that the cities are
recycling their waste the same way, in a linear process, for the past 50 years.
The resources are manufactured, transported in the city for consumption, and
then waste is sent to landfills and power plants outside the city. Not only the
process is harmful to the environment but also the value of waste gets lost.
Changing this process into a circular metabolic system within the city is a
solution to decrease the negative impacts in the environment of the cities, but
the proposal for Wastearn is to apply this circular metabolism in the district
scale. More specifically, within each building.
Currently, the waste is being moved hundreds of kilometers to landfills and even
to other continents.Our proposal is to keep the waste into the district
scale and recycle within the building, starting from the kitchen.
