Considering the value of scrap materials

At Union, we melt discarded metal parts and products in a furnace to transform them into new products. To provide an opportunity for people to see that what might be waste to someone can be a treasure to someone else, we organized this workshop.

Using metal scraps produced during processing, participants created necklaces, keychains, and hairpins. These shiny metal scraps, which hardly seemed like waste, were given a new lease on life.

 

 

Handlies Series

We created a picture book themed around 'circulation' to make it easy for children to understand.
The story features unique characters inspired by door handles, who strive to uncover the true identity of a treasure.
We hope that the memories of this picture book and the workshop will be of some help when they encounter waste in the future.
