MATERIAL FLOW ACROSS THE SCHEME

Arrival of shopping carts through lorry space. A lorry space that accomodates for up 18-20 m long lorries has been designed, considering these are the spans of lorries carrying carts in bulk, which is a scenario that the scheme needs to accomodate considering the supply chain and the fact that the most efficient and economic way to transfer carts is in bulk. Storage space enables long-term storage of shopping carts and copper tanks for the neighbouring copper tank processing facility.

The shopping carts are stripped off into their components, some of which would get recycled or utilised in the production of small scale products at the small-scale maker space within the masterplan
