The Problem

Foreningen Folkemødet wishes to implement a waste sorting system that encourages participants to sort their waste properly.  

Due to the Covid-pandemic the project has been rescoped to address the festivals waste-problem in its whole. This means that the project besides designing a sorting station, also focuses on how to minimise the overall waste-production at the festival. 

 

 

 

 

Target group

Festival participants including organizers. 

Solution

The designteam has developed a catalogue with solutions for the festival to implement next year. The catalogue includes a suggestion as to how to implement the solutions at other festivals as well. A main discovery for the waste-sorting problem is that there’s no one way to do it which causes confusion. 

Focuses on how to best nudge participants to sort waste through priming.
