The obejcts result of the process, are patented, and may be further exploited into furniture objects in cities.

Description:
Waste production is inevitable and often the disposal has a high cost for society and the environment.
A company has protected a technological process that makes it possible to reduce and confine non-recyclable wastes without releasing eco-destructive pollutants. The product obtained, a "waste light tree", is patented and made of concentric glass disks which, with games of light, create a pleasant visual effect. The size of the discs and their colors can vary depending on the waste incorporated.
The idea behind is to reduce deposits in landfills and enlarge commitment by institutions and individual citizens for environmental protection, through furnishing open areas or public spaces.
The company is interested in finding partners that may be interested in further exploiting the patent through joint development, or through technical cooperation agreements, for the realization of the objects to become urban furniture ones.
