For years there has been a major problem all around the world in terms of the collection of plastics. More than 91% of all the collected plastic is not used for recycling. In most cases, this plastic mainly ends up in the sea and a small part is incinerated or ends up in landfills. A solution must be found for mainly plastic at sea. Starting at the source, what happens to the plastic after it is collected?

As students of the Circular Lab, we have been asked to design a product in which plastic waste will play an active role. Our product will fill the function of a temporary separation wall. It must be a product that is easy to assemble and disassemble, modular and above all flexible in height and width.
