REINCARNATION IN ART

​

Tri Patworo_ Pat, Recycle artist

(Jogjakarta, Java, Indonesia 1978)

Son of artists, his mum is a Javanese dancer and his father was a painter, sculptor and dancer, both teachers. He graduated from the Institute of Arts in Jogjakarta and since then his life has been dedicated to the arts. In 2006, it began working with recycled materials, giving a second life to waste (used oil drums, laundry detergents, advertising banners, wheels, lighters, toothbrushes, etc.). After spending 5 years in Australia and expanding its concept of recycling decides to continue his work in his homeland and he moved in the island of Bali. He develops his Recycling Art at ALLWASTE-Reincarnation Art, a brand dedicated to reincarnating garbage in art and useful objects, designing handbags, jewelry, furniture, sculptures ... focused on the reuse of tires and inner tubes. Its concept is based on observing and analyzing the humanity-garbage relationship. Great problem in his country where the consumption of plastics and packaging rises daily and end up burnt or in the seas. His passion, sharing the many options to give a second life to the trash, using your hands and developing creativity without pollution impact, he is facilitating numerous workshops for free and participating in festivals across the island of Bali during the last 7 years.

inner tubes, toothbrushes and other rubbish

give them an other life!

What we do?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most of our items are made out of used innertubes, we also use other stuff that will have the same destiny in the landfill, but our main focus is on upcycling old tires.

Brief info what´s going on:

Tires, tires, tires.. all kinds of tires. Tires are one of the most common items in landfills
today. They are without a question the leading mode of transportation in whole world and as a
result also a major form of pollution.

It takes thousands of years for a tire of a motorbike/car/truck… to decompose in a landfill.
Tires are among the largest and most problematic sources of waste, due to the large volume
produced and their durability.

When it comes to the world, the problem of scrap tires is far worse in the USA than in Europe.
In the USA, an estimated 300 million tires are disposed of annually, a figure that is
absolutely devastating.

In Indonesia we dont find the real accurate statistics of whole countrys disposal of tires, as
there is none, but we can assure, we´re not any better – in matter of fact we are in similar -
if not worse – scenario as the country has very problematic garbage managment system.

In Indonesia it has become a real problem in local landfills as already only Balinese dump
tons of waste tires into landfills each year, which pollute the waterways and cause a
discernible nuisance as well.

Yet still tires are vital for our lives as the world would literally grind to a halt without
them and it is not simply cars and trucks which would stop, but how many commercial airliners
would be able to land without rubber tires beneath them on the runway. Worldwide, efforts are
underway to address the issue of used tires.

Tires are not biodegradable, so they need to be recycled and repurposed rather than discarded.
Seas of tires still exist in dumps around the globe, but progress is being made in dealing
with the problem.

We here in ALLWasteART give our effort to change things around. Our mission is to get into core of it here in our homeland, turning trash from landfill into an artform. We are trying to make new way for reincarnation of tires. Think globally – act locally.

All products are handmade using no fuel powered machines, just creative hands and even
stronger minds.

Reduce Reuse Recycle!

That´s our message to the world.
