About the Project

How might we minimize the wet textiles within the bin system in Frederiksberg municipality and change citizens' perspectives in relation to textile recyclability?

This project investigates how to redesign Frederiksberg’s textile recycling bin system to minimize the wet textile waste. By addressing system inefficiencies and citizen behaviors, we aim to improve textile recyclability, close knowledge gaps and support a more circular and user-friendly approach to textile waste collection in the municipality.
