About the Garden – Large Garden
Repak Most Sorted Garden is a living, breathing example of the circular economy in action. It brings viewers on a journey along a curated and circular pathway, gently demonstrating the steps to better recycling.
The space is designed to show that waste is not an inevitability but a design flaw; one that can be solved through thoughtful recycling and regeneration. Every element in the garden exists within a closed-loop system where materials are repurposed, resources are regenerated, and nothing goes to waste.
The garden will be a hub of activity over the five days of Bord Bia Bloom, hosting talks, discussions, and workshops that engage visitors in the future of recycling. It proves that waste can be eliminated when we design with intention. The goal of this garden is to inspire people to rethink their relationship with materials and embrace a world where nothing is thrown away, only transformed.
