The low recycling rates for clothing and electronic products can be attributed to the following reasons: residents do not gain any direct benefits from participating in recycling, and they are required to strictly adhere to designated recycling times and locations. This demands extra effort and time during their leisure hours. Additionally, governments and factories require significant labor and machinery for disassembly and sorting, as well as large-scale facilities for storage.
Residents of BK need a space that remains fresh and engaging over time.
The building aims to address the challenges of labor shortages and high costs associated with recycling factories. It also seeks to provide a continuously updated entertainment and art gallery to help local residents reduce travel time and alleviate stress.
The building operates on an annual basis, offering two themed projects per year. Participants bring recyclable materials to the venue, where they disassemble them according to the theme and collaboratively design and reassemble the materials into recreational installations. The disassembled materials are then directly sent to recycling facilities.
