This project aims to repurpose duct pipes and industrial waste typically found in woodworking shops, product manufacturing sites, and demolition sites. Duct pipes often require replacement every 6 months to a year due to tearing and wear, posing challenges for recycling. Therefore, this project focuses on minimizing waste and reusing materials through a streamlined process.

The lighting design innovatively repurposes duct pipes into flexible lighting solutions, showcasing their potential as recyclable materials. By maximizing the properties of duct pipes as reusable resources, the project aims to offer sustainable lighting solutions and contribute to environmental conservation efforts.
