Waste: Is it just the inevitable detritus of human life, or a glaring sign of systemic inefficiency?
Could waste be more than something to discard—perhaps even the spark for innovation and regeneration?
Under the guidance of the non-profit association Tusca7, we unravel the tangled narrative of waste and its transformative potential. Co-founder Jeppe Kalnæs challenges the status quo, urging us to question our deeply ingrained assumptions about waste. For what if waste holds the blueprint for reimagining regeneration, design, and community? And what would happen if we stopped forcing the world into the narrow confines of our human-centered expectations and began to see waste through the eyes of other species?
Tune in as he explores:
- The social construct of waste—and how to dismantle it.
- Ways to redefine what we discard.
- A metabolic dream of a waste-free world.
