The Great Recovery

35 x 5 - 17 mins
Directed, Filmed & Edited by Paul Wyatt

“We have been very fortunate to work with Paul Wyatt, the talent behind our collection of films. They have become intrinsic to the identity of the project and are an invaluable resource.”

Lucy Chamberlin, Head of the Great Recovery, The RSA

The RSA Great Recovery project has used design thinking and methodologies to investigate the challenges and opportunities for a circular economy. Our current manufacturing model of ‘take-make-dispose’ is throwing up major economic and environmental challenges. Populations are growing in size and affluence, materials are becoming more scarce, the risk to our supply chains is increasing, and the cost of waste is higher than ever.

Over four years, Paul Wyatt produced 35 films highlighting the relationship between materials, waste, and design. Thanks to their clear and accessible approach to the subject matter, the films received a high level of audience engagement.
