Projects
Future of Waste
Hosting multi-stakeholder dialogues and strengthening human-to-human connection to redefine the value of waste, envision a regenerative future of our products, and prototype ways to get there. Together.Arbon Initiative
Humanity’s current rate of resource consumption eventually means we will run out. In Switzerland we consume 3 times what we should aim for a sustainable development. Meanwhile, we produce “waste” unlike any other species on the planet – it is a man-made problem. Future of Waste x Arbon is an initiative that focuses on creating the right conditions for addressing this challenge and triggering change towards more resilient consumption and production patterns at a local level.Let’s talk waste
Let’s talk waste wants to cut plastic pollution at the roots because cleaning up is not going to be enough. We raise awareness on the impact we have with our daily waste and guide people on the path of changing their habits, step by step towards conscious consumption.
