KABOOM  Urban Laboratory of Circular Transition in Bologna with WASP

KABOOM  Urban Laboratory of Circular Transition is a concept of SOS School of Sustainability and WASP is the technical sponsor. 

At the center of Piazza dell’Unità in Bologna on 12 and 13 September there will be a big 3D printer, a Delta WASP 3MT INDUSTRIAL 4.0 that will print objects with recycled material. KABOOM aims to bring the public closer to important issues such as sustainability, the change in consumption and customs and the responsibilities of everyone.

WASP has always been involved in issues related to the circular economy and collective well-being. WASP is a demonstration of how the model “take-make-dispose” (extract, produce, consume and dispose) can evolve into “reduce-reuse -recycle” (reduce-reuse-recycle).

Everyone will be able to become actors in this urban laboratory by responding to the “Call for Plastic”: bringing plastic waste and delivering it, you can see how a waste object regains value with recycling and design. 

“3D printing responds to one of the central themes for the future of collective well-being:
the recycling of plastic and other waste materials for the creation of new products in total sustainability.

KABOOM is sponsored by the Comune di Bologna, Quartiere Navile, with the technical support of WASP and the participation of Bologna Fiere Servizi, r3direct, Fondazione Innovazione Urbana, SCART, BackBo.
