Recycling Center Contact

I have a friend that works at a Recycling Center. He is always providing us material for... any past purposes.

Do we need more bottles?

If we do,
How many, and what kind?
He might not be able to chose that much, but we can place an order.

Please contact me if needed.

Have a great day!

Rainwater Harvest + Fabric Canopies

Although more relevant to plastic sheets (rather than bottles) these forms and materials can contribute to our design for rainwater catchment, especially in maximizing surface area open to the sky.

Rainwater Bladders

The harvesting and collection of rainwater from your roof is a relatively simply process incorporating RainPac™ rainwater solutions. Ideally suited for any confined space and are a discrete water storage system. Made from double layered PVC our water bladder tanks need no frame work as they are self supported. Yana Bladder tanks are made from a portable grade fabric and can be used to store drinking water.

Fog Harvesting

The harvesting of Fog is an innovative technology to collect/store excess water vapor in areas of suitable climate. With large expanses of fine mesh nylon or polypropylene netting arranged perpendicularly to the prevailing winds, the dew collected from the fog aggregates and trickles down (due to gravity) into small gutters at the base of the screen. This gutter can be channeled to a much larger cistern or storage container for alternate use. Given this research, we may feel inspired to design a site-specific prototype given this research.
