THE INTRODUCTION OF A MATERIAL DEPOSIT

The following work discusses the introduction of a material deposit to promote the recycling of bio-plastics. The promotion of a circular economy precedes that our handling of Earth‘s resources must change. Here I suggest a material deposit: borrowing as a socially established form of taking responsibility and duty of care. On the basis of various existing deposit systems, different criteria are developed and assigned to different actors. Based on the criteria, two recommendations for actions to designers are formulated.
