Abstract: Metal is a material that can be processed in a sustainable manner without degrading or losing its original properties. The composition of metal waste in Indonesia alone is expected to reach 6.86% by 2021 and is ranked fifth as the largest waste composition in Indonesia, which has the potential to damage the ecosystem if not handled properly. Several companies are trying to respond to the concerns about metal waste in Indonesia, namely by revalue metal waste into products such as jewelry, home decor, and furniture. However, recycled metal waste still has a low value in the eyes of society, causing its sparse usage as a product material. This research focuses on the use of brass and copper waste, presented in the form of stories. This research also was carried out through several methods such as literature study, market research, brainstorming, and product development to produce jewelry that connects metal and copper waste materials with the concept of rebirth. Keywords: metal, waste, jewelry, recycle, revalue
