Who we are

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.

Why we started

Wastematters is a design initiative that transforms food waste into valuable materials and products. We believe that food waste should not be the end of a lifecycle, but the beginning of a new one.

Our project aims to raise awareness about the issue of food waste while exploring creative ways to repurpose discarded resources. Through material experimentation, design, and craftsmanship, we develop sustainable materials that can be used in everyday products and construction applications.

Where our food waste comes from

The food waste used in our materials is collected from restaurants, cafés, hotels, and food businesses in Bangkok that partner with our project.
These materials are carefully sorted, cleaned, and processed before being transformed into composite materials that can be used for various design and construction products.

Who our partners are

Our partners are restaurants, cafés, hotels, and food-related businesses that collaborate with us by collecting and separating clean food waste.

Partners play an essential role in the system by helping us turn discarded materials into valuable resources for sustainable design and production.

We are open for collaboration

Fisherman knows their fishes. Carpenter knows their wood and the chef knows their fire.  We highly respect every profession and the depth of each trades. Please tell us your story or let us know if you have any waste from your business. We are happy to make a visit and perhaps it could be a place where great new ideas are born!
