A highly visible example of the growing adoption of reclaimed materials is the construction of a new drive-thru Starbucks café from reclaimed shipping containers, as well as its installation of reclaimed wood products at many branches around the country. Anthony Perez, senior concept designer for the Starbucks corporation will be presenting a keynote speech at the upcoming Decon ’13, April 29 to May 1, at Seattle’s Seattle Center to address precisely this evolving collaboration between designers, builders and the material supply community.
