Live Debris operates under a mission of perpetual mutual education, dedicated to exchanging, exploring and developing new methods for reusing discarded materials and transforming peoples’ perceptions of waste. Through international workshops, exhibitions, interventions, lectures, art and exchanges, Live Debris creates opportunities for people from all walks of life to broaden their understanding of waste management as a tool for social, economic and ecological development. With the belief that today's waste must be met with widespread reuse, localized recycling and integrated management systems that benefit marginalized communities, Live Debris demonstrates how social inclusion and locally appropriate waste management are necessary and related aspects of peace and security around the world.
