With the goal of Phase 2 being to understand the stakeholders, context, and constraints of the sustainability project, the group first recapped what they knew about pod-style coffee making and the recycling system.
This was done by creating:
- a stakeholders map: to make sense of the stakeholders involved and the activities that they take place in
- a chart: to grasp the contexts, processes/policies/regulations, and tools/products/artifacts connected to the activities
