There are huge amounts of plastic waste, insufficient recycling of it, seemingly unstoppable product over-consumption, and limited access to new approaches to consumer behavior.
Qubitkidz aims to create a local solution to the circular economy model that can be implemented in a closed system that provides citizens with a common platform for waste management and upcycling methods that can change their consumption behaviour and mental health practices by using a 3D-printed plastic adapter (GLAD), mass-produced glass jars and plastic is transformed into green panels, storage structures, and eco-design objects.
