Labels and signage design have a surprisingly complex influence on whether trash, recyclable and compostable items get sorted into the correct bin. There’s a careful balance between listing enough but not too much detail, as well as displaying the right terminology and images to effectively guide people with limited attention spans. And of course, what works in one setting may not in another.
This webinar will feature two separate case study presentations. Evelyn Amara Ferreira with the San Francisco International Airport will review their work to research, test and refine the messaging used on bins across throughout the airport, and Arizona State University’s Molly Longton will describe their system for tailoring labels to the unique waste profiles of different settings while maintaining a uniform design standard.
