Round Table. BDW '20
Barcelona Design Week, 2020

Within the framework of the Barcelona Design Week 2020 organised by the BCD and the FAD, we collaborated in the dynamisation and development of the round table entitled "Can the use of plastic be a form of activism". 

Plastic is a material that, nowadays, is highly criticised by a very large sector of society; but at the same time it has been shown to have many advantages. Therefore, is it a bad material or are we misusing it? Can it end up being the raw material of the 21st century economy? What is the potential of recycled plastic? Is plastic more polluting than any type of wood? What alternatives are there in plastics? Are bioplastics more sustainable?
