Bio materials

Studio Lionne van Deursen has showcased its Unfold designs, made from a material created by living microorganisms, at Milan Design Week.

Bioplastic materials are more than just a sustainable choice; they can represent a shift in the paradigm of material usage in design. #designwanted #design #sustainabledesign #bioplastic

Our second open source book on Bioplastics, this time the bioplastic cook book gives everyone tips and recipes to make their own bioplastics! The book contains a flyer to print for labeling your bioplastic and creating your material archive. Book written by Margaret Dunne during her internship at Fab Textiles June-July 2018

BIO-BASED MATERIALS is a research project on materials obtained from biomass. The objective is to investigate an alternative to conventional materials that often have a great negative impact on the environment. The development of these materials obtained from biomass would not only mean an improvement for the planet, but could also offer new sensations, colors, textures, smells and interactions between the user and the object. This project is developed within the framework of the Final…

Developing architectural components based on biomaterials generated by bacterial growth

“Cooking new materials” is an independently developed technique which aims to process bio-waste into a soft but yet robust leather-like material. The seemingly useless food wastes will reborn with a second life. Banana and orange peel or soy-milk are combined with a natural binding agent as the substrate. The resulting composite is fully biodegradable and can be easily reused after the re-cooking process. It is a 100% bio-degradable, zero waste natural product. Moreover, the bio-material ...

Scientists in the UK have developed a low-carbon construction material using desert sand that could take pressure off increasingly scarce natural resources.

the 'algae anatomy' project proposes to use green macro algae, which is actually harmful to the natural environment and marine life.

A bio-based leather alternative, this new material revolves around the concepts of circularity & sustainability. A sustainable loop has been attained through this material development process, keeping the sustainable development goals in mind, where all the raw materials are organic, sourced from nature ranging from seaweed (algae), natural fibers, flowers, to nutrient rich fruit/vegetable peels that we throw away, and it goes back to nature (bio-degrade) once its purpose is served.

berlin-based textile designer youyang song developed PEELSPHERE, a 100% biodegradable and circular material made from fruit waste and algae.

Ottan studio is an impact startup focused on up-cycling green waste into high-quality materials to be used in interior and industrial design.
