Description
Description | The Rhode Island School of Design has launched Loop Lab, a pilot initiative that transforms the school's own waste, starting with paper waste, into raw materials for students to reuse and reimagine. The project involves collecting, sorting, shredding, soaking, and pressing discarded materials into pulp slurry or dense paper blocks for reuse. Funded by a $100,000 grant, the initiative aims to engage students in circularity and could expand to other materials like textiles, plastics, and organic waste. |
