A systems-led design proposal that reimagines household waste as a valuable community resource. In this example, food waste from Glasgow tenements is redirected away from landfill and reintegrated into local ecological cycles. Rather than being lost through ineffective municipal waste systems, organic waste becomes compost that can support community allotments, urban food growing, and environmental restoration projects. The proposal demonstrates how systems thinking can transform waste from a neglected by-product into a shared resource that strengthens both community resilience and ecological relationships.
