SENIOR PROJECT: UPCYCLE

We were given the task to design for the future. With my passion for recycling and Earth friendly approach, I thought it would be a great idea to combine that with my absolute love for design. Why not take a single use product and up-cycle it into a product that could last for years to come. As a planet we consume enough plastic to generate an entire furniture store using my concept! The Upcycle Factory Lab would combine a plastic bottle recycling matching and a 3D printer. Anyone could use it to print various products based on the amount of bottles you supplied.
