Wasted: When Trash Becomes Treasure

This book has me at the first page flick through! I love the pull out quotes - its so heartening to see that design has now inserted sustainability into the definition of creative thinking. If you are looking for hope, inspiration, ingenuity, fun and beauty, look no further. Highly recommend for anyone who is interested in the myriad creative and brilliant ways we can reuse and repurpose "trash" into beautiful treasure.

Beautiful when arrived, but gets dirty quickly. Even dust on it is hard to wipe away.

An extremely well researched and insightful book, which contextualises our very pressing need to rethink and adapt our use of finite resources, increasing their 'circularity' - thinking that is both vital and urgent. The book explores the imaginative responses of small scale designers and makers, surely the place where many new concepts and future norms will be born.

A fantastic book well presented and so relevant as design, and manufacture looks to transition into a new epoch, moving away from the traditional linear mode of ‘take-make-waste’Really like the takeaway and thought provoking quotes within the book.And the wonderful introduction by Glenn Adamson

This book is brilliant and insightful. So well written and real eye opener to the amount of waste and what we are doing to the planet...as well a show casing brilliant talented designers making beautiful things from landfill and waste. A great read and inspiring reference book.
