PIVOT is grounded in research on waste culture, behavioral psychology, and sustainable design.
This section outlines the thinking that shaped the project.
RESEARCH THEMES

OVERCONSUMPTION
Globally and in Israel, most waste ends up in landfills. PIVOT tackles this by making reuse attractive and accessible.

BEHAVIORAL PSYCHOLOGY
Nudge Theory, the IKEA Effect, and Priming Theory influence how we shop; PIVOT uses these to reframe second-hand retail.

CONSUMER CULTURE IN ISRAEL
Israel produces over 640kg of waste per person yearly. Fast fashion, stigma, and lack of education deepen the problem.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY
PIVOT is a pilot that challenges linear consumption with a circular, community driven approach.
