Promoting a circular economy by using foodwaste

and greenwaste to create new materials. Taking benefits from our waste, while producing less.

​

Food waste represents 1.3 trillion tonnes per year worldwide. It is time to consider them as a valuable eco-resource in terms of innovation. Some common applications of bio-based materials are packaging materials, dining ustensiles, food packaging, and insulation. In this sens, the raw material used include a wide range of properties and promote a circular economy, by upcycling our local waste.

This research showed that 50% of the biomaterials created during this project has been biodegraded after being placed in a natural environment for a month. 

Food waste collection.

Biomaterials collection | Made from pistachio shells, banana peels, eggshells, carrot peels, peanut shells, wood chips, cork, etc.

Biodegradation tests on 28 days.
