The RecyclingdesignAward is an „open“ competition without a limit of age. All creatives and designers with professional or semi-professional education are invited to forward there objects or designs.
Aim of the Recycling Design Award Through the use of „discarded things“ - such as remnant material from industrie and manufactories, discarded materials„ rubbish“ - seemingly useless things should be made usable again. Bearing in mind the social criteria these products thereby developed should be sold also by job creating organizations or similar institutions. The production of “clever”, “beautiful” and “useful” designed objects which awarded a prize conduces to the environment and is a contribution for employment promotion.
The Range of Required Developments
The aim is to discover and uncover the so-called „hidden meaning of things beeing thrown away or chucked away“ („der verborgene Sinn weggeworfender Dinge“). The seemingly useless and disposed-off things should be re-used to create new objects. The range of required developments stretches from decorative articles, furniture, clothes/textiles, to various other accessoiries.
Materials
The objects and articels must be designed and made out of garbage and/or residues from industry and manufactures for our everyday use or to be used for decoration and furnishing. Exclused are all returnable materials. For participants from Germany: those materials with the „green dot“ are exclused either („green dot“/“Grüner Punkt“ is a special german collection system for packing material of consumer goods).
