Our project deals with recycling and corporate responsibility, interrogating to what extent everyday materials can be reused or recycled at home. We are interested in the knowledge and infrastructure required for recycling to be successful in reducing environmental impact, and the politics of guilt associated with corporations attempting to shift blame to individual consumers. The zine documents our experiments with repurposing everyday objects - a pleather bag, a wool skirt, a piece of aluminium foil, and a cardboard box. We invite readers to consider to what extent this approach is accessible to the average consumer. Are the appropriate infrastructures in place to allow recycling to happen on a wider scale, and if not, what can we do to make that happen?
