Waste Age at The Design Museum

Delighted to see the RIBA Journal’s latest article, ‘Peak waste: horror and hope’, as it came face to face with the shocking statistics of our waste crisis at The Design Museum.
The article takes a walk through the new ‘Waste Age: What can design do?’ exhibition seeks both to show how such disastrous wastefulness has happened, and to ‘explore what design can do to rethink the way we produce and consume’.
Featuring a collection of work by Sophie Thomas, the Director of Circular Economy at Useful Simple Trust, we were able to tour the space with students earlier this term – declaring this exhibition as the most transformative moment for them in their understanding of the waste challenge.
