UNcontaineD

Reducing waste by repurposing empty shipping containers for social good, specifically student and refugee housing. Europe has high shipping container disposal costs compared to other ports. Shipping companies haul empty containers to ports with cheaper disposal costs, and some will even dump containers overseas in spite of increasing regulations. These containers are recycled and downcycled by the disposal companies. The costs and energy consumed by moving empty containers away from Europe can be reduced if there was a local market for the reusable containers. The Netherlands, like many countries, is also having a housing crisis. This greatly impacts students and refugees who have fewer resources.
