Case studies

The best way to grow a society is to work collaboratively. There are many great ways to collaborate and here at UpRising we aim to make it as easy as possible for all design students to build connections with businesses and industry who are working in sustainable ways. One of the most amazing emerging industries is the circle economy. It's all about how design can be a system for positive change, one that replaces 'Take, Make, Waste' with ' Recover Make Use Reuse'

Imagine your MDP incorporates a material made from reclaimed plastic car waste, (BoxHead Plastics) that goes into making your product which assists in the Koala habitat restoration program, in conjunction with Fungi Solutions, for example. See the examples below of successful businesses working within the circle economy and using system thinking to create powerful positive change for so many people and places.

System thinking businesses.

Nakie

Here at Nakie we want to be part of the solution. We are using recycle bottles to create our hammocks. Each double hammock consists of approximately 37 recycled plastic bottles. This not only gives these bottles a new life but helps remove them from land fill and hopefully decreases the amount of plastic we are seeing in our waterways. Plastic in land fill takes on average 400 years to break down.
