For the 11th time, the ‘Recycling Design Prize’ is dedicated to visionary ideas and original new uses for residual materials and discarded objects. With innovative developments in the field of sustainable design, Galerie Nord | Kunstverein Tiergarten is the second venue after Museum Marta Herford to present this exhibition for the renowned design competition organised by Arbeitskreis Recycling e. V. Herford.

The winners (1st prize: Sebastian Thies, Munich; 2nd prize: Mareen Baumeister, Berlin; 3rd prize: Marisa Gaab, Landau; special prize: SUPERFILIALE Markus Zimmermann, Frankfurt a.M.) and the 24 nominated entries will be presented in a sustainable exhibition display by product designer and artist Oliver Schübbe.

A current variety of imaginative and functional upcycling products can be seen alongside material explorations or projects from the fields of circular economy, social design or transformation design. In this sense, many of the approaches presented are important visions for creating new things from all conceivable ‘waste’, from plastic waste to blood and faeces to old frying fat, and thus not simply disposing of what is left over, but rather carefully transforming it. The most convincing designs were selected by a jury of experts from several hundred submissions from all over the world:
