In Design for Development class I took as my technical elective during my freshman year of college, we’ve had a chance to collaborate with this organization with a task of refining their system of turning recyclable waste products to composite building blocks. The motivation behind working on using paper and plastic is that the paper fibers provide volume and can strengthen the material while plastic shelters paper from decomposing. I was actively helping with design phase for improving of the drying process and responsible for CAD visualizations.
