Developed in 2016 with over 100 multidisciplinary collaborators, the Center’s Zero Waste Design Guidelines set out design strategies to revolutionize New York’s waste system. Expanding on that initiative, this exhibition, curated by journalist Andrew Blum, examines the life cycle of trash to uncover further opportunities and challenges in the city’s aim to produce zero waste by 2030. A full-day symposium and evening panels accompany the presentation.
