POST DISPOSABLE

MEET THE GLOBAL MOVEMENT TO REDESIGN THE WORLD’S SYSTEMS TO BE #POSTDISPOSABLE

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT LEYLA ACAROGLU
 


THIS IS A GLOBAL REDESIGN CHALLENGE TO MOVE BEYOND DISPOSABILITY

This movement activates individuals, governments, and industry to rapidly
redesign our polluting systems of production and consumption to turn the tides
on the massive environmental and social burdens that disposability has led us
to. We are activating a global movement to design a positive future for the
planet.

DO YOU BELIEVE THE WORLD IS READY TO GO POST DISPOSABLE?

 


WE BELIEVE WE CAN DESIGN A FUTURE THAT IS POST DISPOSABLE, WHERE WE MAKE WASTE
OBSOLETE.

#PostDisposable is a global movement to rapidly redesign the systems that
sustain wastefulness and contribute to pollution by reframing the negative
narrative into positive actions.

Rather than continuing to have linear, single-use products polluting the planet,
#PostDisposable challenges people, industries, and governments to rapidly
integrate closed-loop systems that maintain value, advancing the circular
economy and amplifying positive change in the world.


THE QUESTION IS: HOW QUICKLY CAN WE REDESIGN OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO GET US
ALL THERE?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the challenge

How quickly can all 7.4 billion people on the planet move to a post-disposable
future?

LET'S WORK ON A FUTURE THAT'S POSITIVE FOR ALL OF US.

 

Everything from the chair you are sitting in, to the device you are reading this
on, absolutely everything is designed - and therefore, can be redesigned to be
move beyond disposability.

Hyper-disposable culture has resulted in excessive material extraction, resource
depletion, and extreme waste. This linear disposable system hurts everyone and
is unsustainable.

If we work together, with the right tools, we can redesign products, services,
and systems for a circular and sustainable future.  


WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO JOIN THIS GLOBAL MOVEMENT TO DISRUPT DISPOSABILITY


 

 


WHY DO WE NEED TO GO #POSTDISPOSABLE?

WE HAVE BECOME A HYPER- DISPOSABLE PLANET

And recycling validates the production of waste, which means we need a variety
of alternative solutions to move beyond disposability.

 


THE UNITED NATIONS PREDICTS THAT BY 2050, THERE WILL BE MORE PLASTIC IN THE
OCEAN THAN FISH

The human health impacts and ecosystem damages from our hyper-disposable society
are more than evident.



Recycling is not the only solution. It perpetuates the issues by validating the
production of disposable products. We can't expect that recycling alone will
curb the out-of-control global disposability issue. 

We need to redesign the systems of production and consumption to embrace a
circular, post- disposable world. This fits in with the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goal 12, to produce goods and services in sustainable
ways. 

The world needs tangible solutions from government commitments through to
individual lifestyle choices, if we are to move to a sustainable, circular, and
regenerative planet. We are jumpstarting the transition - are you ready to be
part of the post-disposable future? 

 

Products are currently designed to be thrown away

Everywhere you look, you will see single-use products intentionally created to
be wasted

 
 


WE HAVE DESIGNED OURSELVES INTO A LINEAR (WASTEFUL) ECONOMY


 
 


AS A RESULT, WASTE HAS BECOME SOCIALLY NORMALIZED

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


HOW DO YOU FEEL AFTER HEARING THESE OVERWHELMING PROBLEMS?

do you feel bad? many people do





we are changing the narrative to one of positive action

Negativity is a disabler to action. Humans have a predisposition to experience
negativity bias. When we see negative concepts, we are often disabled from
action through the generation of fear.

This common approach focuses on taking things away from people (i.e.,
‘zero-waste’). It creates a reductionist and negative mindset, making people
feel overwhelmed, deprived, and as though there is nothing they can do that will
make a difference.

#PostDisposable is a positively-framed campaign with actions and excitement as
the core motivator.

This speaks to more people to advance the movement toward a positive
post-disposable future.

 


THE SCIENCE OF FEAR

Negativity Bias is our predisposition to focus on the negative aspects of a
situation.

All humans have it, and it hijacks our brains: we feel losses more than gains.

> Fear is generally an ineffective tool for motivating genuine personal
> engagement.

> – O'Neill, Nicholson-Cole (2009)

 


RECYCLING MOVEMENTS HAVE HELPED PERPETUATE THE “PROBLEM NARRATIVE”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WE BELIEVE THE FUTURE IS POST DISPOSABLE


HERE’S WHY:

WE CAN DESIGN OUR WAY OUT OF LINEAR SYSTEMS AND INTO CIRCULAR SYSTEMS

Only 14% of the hundreds of millions of tons of electronic waste generated each
year is recycled.  Industry has become accustomed to designing things to break
through planned obsolescence, which normalizes wastefulness.

We lose valuable materials from the system, hurt already impoverished people who
have to process the waste, and create a global system of de-valuing consumer
goods. The circular economy addresses this problem.


THE #POSTDISPOSABLE CAMPAIGN ELEVATES EVERYDAY CONVERSATIONS INTO ACTIONS,
ACTIVATES EXCITEMENT ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES, AND HELPS TO NORMALIZE POST-
DISPOSABLE LIFESTYLES.

 

 


IT’S ALREADY HAPPENING!

The global movement for a post-disposable planet is already growing strong with
entire countries pledging to replace highly disposable items. Companies are
investing in R&D, and individuals are taking personal actions to reduce their
disposable additions. This is the Circular Economy Movement.

The #PostDisposable campaign catalyzes that existing energy for change and
levels up the movement by promoting new ways to motivate action, providing
inspiration for easy transitions, and creating a centralized positively-framed
narrative for change.


FRANCE, INDIA & KENYA ARE ALL BANNING DISPOSABLES

Vessel Works: a library system for coffee cups

Grab a stainless steel mug, enjoy your drink anywhere, and drop it off at
participating cafes and drop points around the city.

 

The circular economy is helping make the transition happen, influencing shifts
in the financial sector and the design of products and services we all rely on.

Big players in industry and government are pioneering products, systems, and
services that will help to move us away from single-use products and systems, to
closed loop ones.


ALTERNATIVES ARE BEING DESIGNED ALL OVER THE WORLD

 

Ooho! the edible water bottle

The goal of Ooho is to create a waste-free alternative to plastic bottles and
cups.

Don't recycle water bottles, eat them instead. This spherical packaging is made
of seaweed: entirely natural, biodegradable and edible.

 

ReGrained harvests used grain from craft beer makers.

They create delicious recipes with this flavorful, nutritious ingredient that
would otherwise have gone to waste.

 

Evoware: EAT THE plastic wrapper

This new food packaging is made from seaweed instead of plastic. The wrapper is
nutritious if it’s eaten, and if it ends up as litter, it naturally biodegrades.

DISRUPT DESIGN IS FOUNDED BY AWARD-WINNING DESIGNER, SUSTAINABILITY PROVOCATEUR,
AND UNEP 2016 CHAMPION OF THE EARTH, DR. LEYLA ACAROGLU.

Leyla has spent over 15 years building and driving change across education,
industry, and governments globally. She is a world-leading provocateur on the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




NARRATIVE FLIP TO A POSITIVE FUTURE

To make change, we don’t need to change individual behaviors. We need to change
the conditions that people exist within, giving alternative narratives and ways
of being that are positive and regenerative for the planet.

We can rapidly move to sustainable lifestyles by designing new systems that make
the old obsolete.

This is what Disruptive Design is all about: design that changes systems at the
root level so they grow into transformative change.
