Eco-Design of Urban Items.

The purpose of the project was the eco-design of six street furniture items: a bench, a waste bin, a planter, a bike rack, a streetlamp and a mini-space. The common denominator of all of them was eco-design and the project included the participation of six well-known designers from Barcelona and the following organisations: CEMA (the Government of Catalonia’s Business and Environment Centre), ICTA (the Institute of Sciences and Environmental Technologies) and the UAB (Autonomous University of Barcelona). ZICLA was involved in suggesting recycled materials that could be used to manufacture the different street furniture elements studied.
