Make and Break with Industrial Waste. Discover the Quirkiness of Things
August 12 (Wednesday) – 16 (Sunday) Time: 10:30 am – 4:00 pm
Nakadai is a company that has pioneered the business of “remarketing industrial waste” by “creating new ways to use and designing new ways to dispose.” Nakadai will be operating the Ikaho Factory once again this year at Hara Museum ARC. Participants will be able to experience making things with plastic cable connectors, printed circuit boards, pellets and other materials, as well as disassembling printers and computers, and a Materials Shop will provide a selection of industrial waste as products.
Why not activate your creativity while learning about the changing trends in industrial waste at the Nakadai Ikaho Factory?
