Home Decor Product Design by Utilizing Drum Waste Materials

Background

The growth of the metal industry always increases every year. Based on PODES (2018), in 2014-2018 it was recorded that metal MSEs in Indonesia had increased by 1397 units. This growth was dominated by several sectors, including crafts, jewelry, and household appliances.
