Research question: How much plastic waste do we produce (until bottle is filled)?
We have to look up where and how we can donate these bottles to factories and find out if they need it. Is it even possible to give them away in Switzerland?
Our answer: in progress
Description/methods/techniques:
We start putting our plastic waste in a plastic bottle to see how long it takes to fill it up and how much waste we produce, take a picture of the bottle every day.
We estimate the duration of the filling process to take up to 2 weeks.
Rules: cut up big plastic pieces so they fit, use Evian 75cl bottle
Material & difficulties: 1 evian 75cl bottle, plastic waste we produce ourselves, keep used plastic throughout the day, bigger plastic pieces, hard plastic (difficult to cut up)
Experts comment: not available yet
Goal/Result: find out how long and how much plastic it takes to fill up such a bottle, measure how much waste there is in a short period of time
