Everything you need to know about the unique experience with plastique
Can you live a good everyday life without plastic? KTH researchers emptied a family home of plastic.
In an unusual experiment, researchers from KTH are emptying the Hesse family’s home—to rebuild it again, almost entirely without plastic. For one month, they will use plastic-free alternatives, such as items made of wood, metal, glass, wool, and ceramics.
The goal of the experiment is to make visible and document how much plastic an ordinary family with children has in their home in 2025, and to see which products can be replaced with plastic-free alternatives. The researchers also want to find out what it is like to live a more plastic-free life in practice: How does everyday life work? What works well, where is there a need for development—and what doesn’t work?
