Designing Sustainability: Fighting Against Cigarette Butts Waste

Simona Pignatta

This critical design project aims to raise awareness about recycling cigarette butts. It will demonstrate their potential usefulness with existing examples, and it will show the benefits if a deposit return system would be applied. Which color evokes up visualizations of a futuristic, utopian society? It's pink and purple for me. I chose upon that to represent the project's color scheme.
