As an investigator into the use and waste of animal 'bio waste' I will have to be less bias and remove myself from the personal ethical and moral ambiguities that this process includes. Twin Towers' Agent Cooper was suggested as a model investigator: his recording methods and attitude towards investigating, "withholding judgement".

Through this investigation I hope to explore the thin line between the consumer's acknowledgement of 'natural' ingredients and how it could change the way they interact or use the chosen product :a bone china cup produced from locally collected chicken bones and sugar filtered through locally collected chicken bones

As the word 'bio waste' can come across a bit misleading and seem to be more organic then it actually is and 'animal waste' is thought of as excrement I have decided to find a word that sits in the middle of these two: 

detritus |diˈtrītəs| (noun) waste or debris of any kind: • organic matter produced by the decomposition of organisms.  • gravel, sand, silt, or other material produced by erosion.

I have concluded, from the many conversations I have had and heard today in the studio, the take away coffee culture is an ever growing and expanding industry. And this is a disposable culture that adds to our land full every day. The cups, plastic covers, sticks, cup collars, spoons... and not all are from recyclable or reusable materials.

I propose to form a process where the 'bio-waste' from the industrial agricultural production is put back into the system of manufacturing materials.
