Sucata Quântica

sucata quântica is an initiative to create useful products from waste, using simple and advanced design and manufacture techniques. our formation in engineering and architecture gave us a framework to understanding the waste management challenges. high grade energy and high value minerals need to break its exploitation rates. the way we think is possible, is a mix of demand-side products (upcycling), and supply-side structures (industrial ecology). we are proposing a solution which doesn’t follow the traditional recycling loop, but uses upcycling as principle. urban mining (technospheric) is a realistic option for slow down the materials extraction, considering the environmental cost of exploiting from natural mines/reservoirs. we know it requires an economic paradigm shift, and there is where creativity plays a mediation role. decentralizing production of goods avoid millions of tonnes of emitted pollutants by the transport of materials.
