Waste is a Design problem.
1.3 billion tonnes of food waste are discarded globally each year, contributing 8% of greenhouse gas emissions. Food waste is perishable and must be separated early — ideally at the source: the kitchen. We collect food waste and transform it into valuable materials for designers and industries. Waste is not the end. It is the beginning of something new.
Wastematters
is a campaign by a group of designers from Primary Workshop that aim to encourage business partners to collect their waste and make the foodwaste become valuable again.

An exhibition that asks an important question:
What is the Brand Identity of Bangpho?
Amid shifting global trends, the expansion of markets from major world powers, and increasingly intense competition within Thailand, how can Bangpho’s woodcraft community survive and move forward?
Today, Bangpho woodworking is no longer only about craftsmanship.
It is about building shared standards within the community — from craftsmanship and material quality to warranty systems and repair services.
These efforts align with ideas of sustainability and education, helping preserve knowledge, pass on skills, and maintain the value of local craftsmanship for future generations.
The key question remains:
Does the community need its own branding?
And could this be the key to its long-term survival?
Join us in exploring these questions and redefining the future of “Made in Bangpho.”
At Bangkok Design Week 2026.
