Harrie Gerritz has captured his vision of Lansink's Ladder on this silkscreen print.
The silkscreen is number 39 from an edition of 100 and is well packed. There is a beautiful and quite heavy frame around it.
Background of the screen printing:
Harrie Gerritz made the screen print at the request of waste processor Attero (formerly Essent Milieu).
When Lansink devised a preferential order for waste management in 1979, he could not have imagined that Lansink's Ladder would become both a symbol and an instrument for the careful handling of creation, in particular the earth.
More than three decades later, Lansink's Ladder has become a concept, both within and sometimes outside the waste world. The ladder symbolises the order of preference for optimal waste management. The highest step is preventing waste, the lowest is dumping waste. The order is based on his motion that was unanimously accepted by the Lower House in 1979.
