How can we Design a Zero Waste Festival?

In this project, I worked with Innovation Space and Keep Tempe Beautiful to help design a Zero Waste Music Festival called Tempe City Roots. I worked with an interdisciplinary team to research, design and prototype two main ideas to help give Tempe City Roots the push it would need to get the festival started. My team and I chose to design a recyclable cups system where festival attendees would be able to use one reusable aluminum cups throughout the festival and wash them when desired. The cups would also serve as souvenirs after the festival if attendees desired. We also designed a transportation system by partnering with the ASU shuttle system and Valley Metro to allow sustainable transportation from across Arizona to Tempe.
