Our world is powered by electronics, but its chemical pollution is becoming a new colonialism of our environment.
This speculative design project is a candy cart operated by humans and bacteria, together creating sweet consisting of wasted pure copper through a bioleaching and cooking process. This project aims to raise the possibility of connecting the material flow of the metals from the industrial system and future food chain, as a sustainable interconnected system.
To combat E-waste will be a long journey. We can start imagining our future with a small but sweet bite.

Speculative Design Project "The Sweeeet Side" Central Saint Martins MA BioDesign 22/23
This speculative design project is a candy cart operated by humans and bacteria, together creating sweets consisting of wasted pure copper through a bioleaching and cooking process. The consumers are encouraged to recycle their e-waste as the new currency, witness the bioleaching and cooking process, and enjoy the tasting experience as a reward. This project aims to raise the possibility of connecting the material flow of the metals from the industrial system and future food chain, as a sustainable interconnected system.
