Sustainable design: exploration of recycled materials physical forms in furniture studies / Nurul ‘Ayn Ahmad Sayuti, Shahriman Zainal Abidin
Waste is not a waste when it can become a new transformation of products and giving a new function and this will help to reduce the environmental issues, preserving for the next generation and give benefits to the country in economy sector.
