Urban leaves fall on artificial surfaces, and theirย decomposition process directly releases carbon backย into the atmosphere, due to lack of contact with soil. Inย addition, existing treatment methods such asย incineration and landfilling further exacerbateย environmental pollution problems. How can we betterย utilise the resource of urban fallen leaves?
โโโโโโโAs a resource, urban fallen leaves have many applicationย possibilities, such as compost, biomass energy, biomassย carbon, biomass materials, etc. After design research, itย was decided to use urban fallen leaves as a biomassย material. The designer combined his own experienceย and targeted children in primary school. It is expectedย that children will gain an in-depth understanding ofย urban fallen leaves as a resource and learn more aboutย the advantages and possibilities of biomass materials.
The outcome is a tool kit, that aims for children toย participate intensely. The children will be guided step byย step to create their own degradable and compostable biomass vase, starting with collecting urban fallenย leaves. Therefore, urban fallen leaves will be more fullyย used as a precious resource.
