Entry Description

The global demand and production for copper are growing constantly. The traditional processes of refining and recycling copper waste become a significant source of pollution.

Compared to traditional copper recycling, the 2e- series proposed an alternative solution that is more aesthetic and eco-friendly via converting scrap coppers into copper crystal jewelry through electrolysis.

2e- was created to explore a new aesthetic form from industrial waste and encourage people to address material-recycling process innovation.
