the circular 'chitofoam' system transforms the exoskeletons of plastic-eating mealworms into biodegradable polystyrene substitutes.

Getting used materials back to the recycler is the hard and expensive part of any program to recycle. Who collects and who pays for it to get back? Who sets up the required infrastructure for this? . Until those get solved it will be many years until reuse and recycle strategies are working efficiently. Using products like those from BioGone, landfill-biodegradable recycled plastic, is the best way to go to minimize the accumulation of plastic waste somewhere. Read more…

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…
