Fatconomy by Robert Johnson

'Fatconomy' explores fat as a new sustainable material through re-thinking waste disposal systems in commercial kitchens across London.

His theatrical display is inspired by a pop-up takeaway shop and includes a wall of petri dishes containing fat samples from restaurants and takeaways across London, as well as objects created from these specific fats – including an apron, a croc shoe, cable ties and packaging materials.

Watch also a short film following the life of a cooper, a traditional craftsman, who in the film develops a new waste collection system that supports local businesses and communities.
