The Physical Awards

​

Inspired by Project Zero we decided last year to make the Ecostar Awards using 100% waste materials. We wanted to showcase what is possible when we shift towards a circular economy and begin to identify waste materials as a resource.  

For a second year we will be partnering with ChopValue and Travtron 3D Printing to create our awards.
