Scraptopia, is a project that reclaims copper from electrical waste using a molecular technique that grows new copper forms over several days. This urban mining method adapts industrial electroplating to recycle copper efficiently, producing pure copper samples that can be reused. Scraptopian objects, ranging from ancient artifact-like pieces to lace-detailed items, highlight the beauty and potential of recycling. Marlo’s work underscores the value in repurposing waste rather than depleting natural resources.
