Artist Marco Cianfanelli believes that we can, and should, find value in all waste.

Marco Cianfanelli believes that we could create a clean environment, in cities and the countryside, by shifting our perception of waste material and finding value in all waste, even material that is currently judged to be worthless. The mine dumps that once surrounded Johannesburg are being flattened now it鈥檚 possible to extract gold from the waste. And in the UK, minute particles of platinum from catalytic converters are now recovered from street dust. By encouraging new technological innovations and changing the culture of waste, Marco hopes to kick-start a new era of re-cycling and re-use.
