Context & Relevance

Landfills take in more than half of the world’s waste worldwide. One of the biggest threats they pose is the production of green house gases, intensifying and speeding up the climate crisis. While recycling is valuable to a certain degree, this process still required immense amounts of external resources such as energy and chemicals as opposed to repurposing waste that extends the life without the use of additional resource.

The need for ‘Scope’ is incredibly relevant to empower individuals to make changes within their homes. The lack of platforms solely dedicated to repurposing calls for such a platform that helps with repurposing considering the long-term positive effects over those of recycling.

User Research

To identify and understand the most effective way of connecting with the audience, user surveys were conducted. There were 2 surveys conducted: a) to understand their current habits and b) understand how certain situations will prompt them to make changes and implement new habits.
