The Waste Makers

George Knipe

The year is 2060 and the UK waste problem has brought the country to a standstill. With no countries left willing to import waste, manufacturing industries are unable to shed their residue. The consumerist wheel has come to a halt. 

Out of this mess, people are looking for other ways to consume and produce. In the historic northumberland market town of Morpeth, people have started to turn this problem on its head. Here, the abundance of waste has become an abundance of resource; an asset that will be able to sustain the local community while traditional means of consumerism continue to fail.
