The main characteristics of this design are simplicity, functionality and recycling. The common parties are surrounding of beer cans, garbage, disorder, and most people suffered cleaning all the space after party. This design promotes an ecologic culture in parties and a conscious way of drinking. Actually cities produce amazing quantities of garbage, therefore the culture of recycling is growing in the entire world. This design promotes an ecologic way of drinking that could help in the recycling process of the materials that in any parties can’t be off. But also is an esthetic object that could be integrated in parties, or in every living room, but the conscious concept is that can be so cheap to produce and to recycle it.

So people jam empty cans into a cardboard wall?
I sure hope everyone is nice enough to completely empty the cans first….
Does the whole thing get recycled afterward? …or do you wait for fruit flies?
I think it’s a really exciting start and addresses a problem that needs a solution, but this doesn’t seem quite done to me. You have to consider that there will most likely be at least a little, if not a lot, of liquid left in the can.
If anyone can come up with a stylish way to keep a party clean and address the issue of beverage remnants, I’ll buy it.
You are totally correct about people leaving liquid in the cans being a problem. While I was growing up it was my job to crush all the cans for the house, and my stepfather’s beer was always the worst, because he’d never finish a can and there would be this nasty soup in the bottom of our collection bucket.
Anyway, one way to get around this would be to set the cardboard piece up more like a table and put some type of plastic catch basin underneath it. Then your guests could take a can out of the table, and return the empty one upside down so that it would properly drain before being recycled.
Poor design. Doesn’t take into account real world use. Build a prototype, have a party, then tell me how it worked out with beer and cigarette butts all over your carpet and wall. I’ve cleaned up after parties, the cans are never empty.
This was a concept design; obviously is required that details be finish, the cardboard panel needs a structure that gives the form, this structure is recyclable so that you can change de cardboard panels, also the structure could have a container in the bottom which you can collect the liquids, also you have to think that this concept panels are just fore party times so, the liquid is not going to be there for long time, and next morning of the party you just have to take the panels and not clean your floor, your tables, your couch, etc.
I think the issue with cans at parties is that people start a drink and then walk away. If the cans need to be empty and have the person decide they want to dispose of the can…why not just leave a trashcan out? If people aren’t willing to put trash in the trash they aren’t going to put cans in a can wall.
Ithink this could be a good start. I also think that the unfinished beers point is very valid. Also, you’d have to go through and take all the cans from the cardboard at some point, since you cant put them in recycling together.
I also agree with Barbi about cans not making it to a trash can, never mind a wall.
You might want to play with the idea of a sort of drinking game… or at least a drinking objective, that college kids love so much. If there were more holes in the board, the point of the party would be to fill it up with cans, or see how full you can get the board. This would give people a reason to put the effort into bringing their empty cans to the wall. This could also be done with a trashcan… fill the trashcan up with empties. And making it a drinking game seems like it would cheapen your idea some.
