Stage sets, exhibition showcases, red carpets, trade fair stands, residual materials in companies: Many materials end up in the recycling centre far too soon. In workshops and lectures, the Zeux initiative from Subbotnik e.V. developed creative ideas for the sustainable use of such residual materials. This resulted in highly individualised products and new perspectives that showed that what was supposedly discarded was not only of material value.
