Via RinNolo

Imagine a world where waste is a precious resource

“Via RinNolo” is an outcome of the Final Synthesis Studio 2022-23 (called Radical Transformations) by a team of students ( called "the plastics") of Product-Service System Design (PSSD), Polimi. The team worked closely with their innovation partners, Il Vespaio towards addressing the original design question,

“How could a system of plastic packaging recovery, production, and distribution of recycled artefacts be organised on a neighbourhood scale in NoLo?”

Via RinNolo addresses the environmental issue of plastic pollution, and the social issue of homelessness, on a neighbourhood scale [beginning in NoLo, Milano]. By creating training and employment opportunities for local homeless populations, Via RinNolo collects, sorts, redistributes, and transforms plastics into portable storage products for retail and access for prosumers. Via RinNolo products are designed to be modular, permitting a lifetime repair guarantee, keeping plastic waste from re-entering the environment.
