Eco-Design – When Zero Waste and Design Meet Presentation at WonderEight

As part of the Beirut Design Week 2013, WonderEight will be hosting a presentation by Ziad Abichaker called “Eco-Design – When Zero Waste and Design Meet”. The presentation is a showcase approach on how an industrial infrastructure was setup to tackle the thorny issue of garbage and how local technological research and development solved 100% of the garbage management issues.

Ziad is a multi-disciplinary engineer who specializes in building Municipal Recycling Facilities on the communal level, going against the trend of a central mega recycling Plant. Recently, Ziad and his engineering team, after four years of research, developed a new technology which transforms plastic bags into solid plastic panels, dubbed ECO-BOARD, used in the outdoors to replace wooden and steel panels.
