From the bin to the floating platform

Four bins were placed by coffee corners and restaurants of the faculties CiTG and BK, TU Delft, to gather the first set of PET bottles (0,5L) that will be used for the experiment.

Ideally all the bottles needed for the floating platform (that can reach the number of 18.165!) can be collected from the TU Delft campus and the student houses in Delft. 

I never saw, by the way, in TU Delft’s dining areas and coffee corners recycling bins for plastic. In that sense, planning this campaign to gather material for the ReVolt House is not only stressing the fact that the building industry can absorb this waste and make constructive use of it, but also raises the issue of recycling in the university’s premises.
