The Big Blue Bench (figure 1) is a furniture piece and public art installation that serves as prototype to demonstrate the reuse of plastic waste as building material (figure 2). The product is the result of research funded by the 2021 University of Kentucky (UK) Sustainability Challenge Grant Program to generate new uses for the abundance of discarded plastic produced by the UK healthcare facilities and serve as a model for designing and building with sustainability in mind.
