Arts Council England 2015/16 Programme: Sustainable Collections ManagementJulie's Bicycle
Museums are important stewards of our past, present and future material and immaterial culture. Through collections we connect with and learn from our past, and reflect on our present and future. Museum collections hold a collective memory of change, evolution, innovation and creativity, and because of this, they have a potentially pivotal role in curating space for us to engage with global issues in a local context, develop our thinking, and become more resilient to change.
They way we manage collections also needs to be mindful of changing environmental and social needs, and acting on this can also positively influence financial sustainability and relevance to audiences and the wider community. As the public awareness of environmental sustainability increases, people are looking to public institutions for leadership.

This document summarizes a design residency project focused on reducing bulky waste, such as furniture, ending up in landfill. Each year in the UK, 1.6 million tonnes of bulky waste is thrown out, with 42% being furniture. Currently, re-use rates for items like sofas are only around 17%. The residency brought together designers, waste managers, and other stakeholders to explore how to increase re-use rates and reduce bulky waste ending up in landfill. Over 10 days, the designers investigated materials streams and systems through visits to waste facilities and a teardown of a discarded sofa. Their insights informed recommendations for designers, manufacturers, waste managers, policymakers, and local authorities to better support

The project was implemented in four phases over the years, expanding its reach each time.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.

Editor's Notes
This slide is giving some examples of the kind of opportunities that the cultural sector have for connecting with, using and piloting, new technology, innovation, and material science.
Prue Lang: Innovating choreographer who uses technology – in November 2013 she worked with Grafitti Research Lab (France) on the Timeproject production, where dancers wore a new prototype of piezoelectric shoes, that harness the dancer’s energy throughout the performance.
Kacie Hultgren: scenic designer in the theatre. uses her 3D Printer to create scale set models and Sells 3D printed scale furniture. Not necessarily sustainable but certainly presents a lot of opportunities as materials get greener and more innovations are made in material science.
Powerful Thinking: Powerful Thinking is a not-for-profit industry think-do tank working towards an energy efficient, low carbon and cost effective future for festivals. Lots of resources about efficient power, sourcing, temporary power structures, use of renewables for events – an excellent resource, also see the Power Behind Festivals Guide.
FanSHEN: Theatre company who place environmental sustainability at the heart of performance-making practice in a way that doesn’t compromise aesthetics, but aims to actively enhance it. Their latest production “Cheese” used electricity generated by people on exercise bikes at a nearby gym, stored in batteries and transported by bicycle to the performance space. While this process caused a greater power restriction on the show, FanSHEN admit that actively integrating these limitations early on in the creative process, also helped unify other elements of the production. The production was shown in a disused office space in Oxford Street, so a lot of the work of the design was re-organising the space so that it felt like a neutral office again.
Consortia e.g. Newcastle Gateshead Cultural Venues (NGCV), London Theatre Consortium (LTC)
Sustainable Production pilots:
Central School of speech and drama – case study on next slides
After Miss Julie at the Young Vic - case study on next slides
Arcola – Talked about them previously, they also used rechargeable batteries to power all of the radio mics in Arcola’s production of Sweet Smell of Success (2012)
Polka Theatre - educational performance, The Planet and Stuff, aims to inform young people about the problems of climate change and what they can do to help solve it.
The Royal Centre School of Speech and Drama (Central) decided to trial a more sustainable approach to theatre production, using their annual musical theatre show as the first step in the process. They staged CABARET in March 2013
Central had already implemented several sustainable production initiatives, including:
- LED house lights in the Exchange Theatre auditorium;
- 100% production waste recycling through Scenery Salvage;
- A Bristol Water Aqua Service Unit for washing painting equipment which separates the toxic paint residue for responsible disposal and filters and reuses the water used for washing;
- A waste vegetable oil (WVO) biofuel generator used to power the school’s studio space;
- Partnerships with lighting suppliers to give students the opportunity to work with new low-energy lighting technology;
A commitment to use FSC certified timber where possible.
They built on this, with Cabaret, and they also:
Tracked company travel and production deliveries
Monitored lighting energy draw using FocusTrack software
Used only house lighting stock to light the show
Recorded what materials were used and assessed sustainability of each one
Local sourcing wherever possible across all departments and minimum van delivery used
FSC certified timber used from construction where possible
Experimented with alternatives to silicone mould
Researched paint with lower VOC quantities
Costumes hired, reused and upcycled from Central and National Theatre stores, and/or constructed from fabric purchased locally
All set recycled through Scenery Salvage or kept for future productions in the Central store
Reusable water bottles used by company throughout
Communicated aims and objectives via policy displayed in working areas
After Miss Julie at the Young Vic:
HVAC- they decided to avoid heating and cooling the space and ventilate with fresh air as much as possible. This was done by keeping the ventilation fans on at a low speed and relaxing the boundaries for the theatre’s optimum environment settings, for example, setting them at 18 – 24 degrees, rather than a fixed optimum temperature of 22 degrees. Audiences were advised to bring extra layers “just in case”.
Lighting- lighting designer focused on using the lighting stock that the Young Vic already had available in-house, to reduce transport emissions from external hires. This didn’t include any specifically energy efficient bulbs or LEDs, but the Maria studio was fitted with new low energy house lights. Rehearsal hours were shifted from 10-6 to 9-5 to make best use of daylight.
Set design – second hand
Costume - Most of the costumes were vintage items sourced within London or the South of England and some items were hired. Props and costumes were mostly put away in storage for future shows, and any remaining materials were recycled and taken to a reclamation centre by Scenery Salvage.
Paper use - The marketing department took the step of sending press releases electronically and not printing flyers. Posters for display outside the theatre were still printed. Paper use was further reduced by piloting a paperless ticketing system where reusable tokens were given to audience members to gain entry. The audience were also given the option of hiring their programme for a reduced price of 50p (compared to the full price of £3), handing it back after the performance to be reused. Programmes were printed on recycled paper with vegetable inks.
After Miss Julie
Also used their programme to really engage with their audiences.
The cast and staff biographies included information about their most interesting environmental challenge during the production
the programme also featured a section on rationing, a list of what was being rationed in the war (the time the play is set) and what resources were rationed in the production of the play.
An Infographic was designed by David McCandless (author of Information is Beautiful) to creatively depict the carbon footprint of various products and services and the interventions and actions taken by the Young Vic.
The Young Vic also created a mural so that at the end of the show audiences exited through a ‘green walkway’ which included the mural painted onto the wall to minimise the environmental impact compared to vinyl stickers or boards.
Additional material was available on the Young Vic’s website and in blogs
Scenery Salvage provides a service that re-uses and recycles scenery and props at no additional cost than you would pay otherwise.
They remove unwanted scenery and props so that they can be re-used or recycled therefore negating use of landfill and need for other clients to construct new scenery. Clients can buy and hire second-hand set pieces.
Items are sorted, firstly into their useful pieces which are sold back to the industry at cheaper rates, and the remaining materials are recycled. Timber is chipped and becomes chipboard, animal bedding, insulation products, mulch etc. Plastics are made into pellets and reused for manufacturing all numbers of items in plastic industry. Metal is crushed and sent for smelting to become the raw product for multiple uses.
Their clients include Britain’s Best Dish on ITV to Eastenders.
Pie chart taken from Green Visual Arts Guide. The pie chart on the left summarises the estimated 2009 emissions of the visual arts sector in London – which is around 22,442 tonnes of co2e. If you remove audience travel (as it is not under direct control of the sector) the total is 96,435 tonnes co2e – which you can see on the right-hand side.
V&A
In 2010 V&A decided to revise its environmental guidelines so that a wider band of relative humidity is allowable. The updated guidelines specified a RH of 45 +/- 10%, with less than 10% variation within a 24hr period. This replaced a much stricter range of 50 +/- 5% with a temperature control of 22 degrees +/- 1 degree. By prioritising object conservation over occupant comfort the perimeter heating and ventilations system can be used to provide adequate environmental control.

The BALTIC in Newcastle has created a specific policy document for creating a sustainable exhibition.
Travel
Engage these agents in assessing ways they can reduce their own environmental impact without compromising the safety and care of the artworks.
Where possible, using trucks rather than planes
Hiring or re-using crates
Using sea or rail freight as opposed to air
Consolidating shipments and managing the geography of exhibitions intelligently so that objects are not transported needlessly
HVAC controls: BALTIC considers what is appropriate for each exhibition and loan rather than having a standard environmental monitoring policy, to ensure requirements are not unnecessary and unsuitable
Exhibition build:
A system of re-usable wall panels has been developed in house to increase the re-cycling of materials
Where possible, exhibition layout design is developed with an eye to minimizing construction
Steel work, sheet materials and timber are re-used
Use of FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood
Avoidance of harsh cleaning products and use of solvent free paints
Lighting:
The lighting control system allows for timed switching of the lighting in the galleries, as in the rest of the building. Lighting is therefore turned off when the galleries are not occupied and the building is closed to the public.
- Blanket conditions should no longer apply. Instead conditions should be determined by the requirements of individual objects or groups of objects and the local climate
- Care of collections should be achieved in a way that does not assume air-conditioning or any other current solutions. Passive methods, simple technology that is easy to maintain, and lower energy solutions should be considered;
Natural and sustainable environmental controls should be explored and exploited fully;
Manchester Art Gallery did some pioneering work on re-negotiating temperature settings/parameters required for arts works. They changed BMS control parameters from a seasonal set point (+/- 5% for RH) to a deadband (35-70% RH). They will use heating, even in summer, to reduce RH if it exceeds 70% as cost of heating is less than cost of dehumidification. Also, less heating in winter to reduce reliance on humidification during cold days.
The Happy Museum is an action research project testing out the potential to re-define museums as spaces for people to be active, learn new things, look at the world differently, make friends and give something back. It proposes viewing people not as audiences but as collaborators, not as beneficiaries but citizens and stewards, seeing museums as participative institutions in which individuals are co-creators of their own space. The Happy Museum Project has commissioned 22 projects so far.
They have also commissioned London School of Economics, to create the paper shown on the slide which is looking at valuing well-being in response to cultural activities.
