my treasures trash by emiliana design studio

‘my treasures trash is conceived as a public service that encourages people to abandon ‘still alive’

objects in the urban environment, in a way that others could benefit from it. my treasures trash challenges

the cycle of objects in urban areas, as it requires a new attitude of citizens around issues such as reusing,

recycling and collective responsibility.‘ EDS
