Final Prototype - detail - RISD partnered with the NGO Waste-for-Life as an opportunity for students to help a struggling group of people in Argentina called cartoneros -people who collect recyclable garbage for a living. We built a hotpress to thermo-form recycled plastic bags, and then designed high-end products made from the new plastic material. I chose to create a new way of making plastic watch bands.
