Project Name: Waterschatten Project managers/designers: Studio Nienke Hoogvliet Web link: http://www.nienkehoogvliet.nl/portfolio/waterschatten/ Description: Studio Nienke Hoogvliet have designed and made a collection of objects from used toilet paper. 180.000 tons of toilet paper is flushed down the toilets, every single year in the Netherlands. (The Dutch Water Authorities, have been experimenting with recovering energy and raw materials from waste water.) Usin sieves, the paper can be used, rather than just burnt. Hoogvliet added brass elements to the recycled paper, to show that even things from the sewer can have great value.
