The Waste Material Emporium is a physical, cultural location where waste material as a resource is promoted, and where those who enter find such material, but also suggestions, sensations, curiosities, fun, emotions, cooperation opportunities and unexpected encounters.
The materials in the Emporium, adequately collected, exhibited and readily available for users, do not come from landfills or even waste collection bins, but are the scrap and swarf of industrial production, or mistakes and remainders left in company warehouses, no longer sellable, that companies have provided to ReMida for free.
Inside the Emporium you may find many different types of company waste materials: cloth and yarn (jute, linen, wool, silk, rope, ribbon, passementerie); metals and electronics (iron, aluminum, steel, copper clippings, springs, electric components, motherboards, cables); ceramics, plastics, and derived components (plexiglas, polycarbonates, synthetic monofilaments, nylon, acetate, pre-pregs, foams, sponge rubber, packaging plastics, containers, thread spools, texturized polyamide fibres, tubes, buttons and pre-molded buttons); paper and cardboard (sheets, rolls, cuttings, print tests), wood fogli, rotoli, ritagli, prove di stampa); and wood (reels, shafts, spools, pallets,die boards, contours, chunks, panels, boards, frames).
