RESEARCH

a system for creating color pigments derived from plant waste

Uses microbial cellulose (kind of pure cellulose produced by bacteria and yeasts) as a material to produce disposable packaging/tablewares

Uses waste (from paper/food/other) to produce paper and contribute to a circular economy

Created a leather-like material from fruit waste (mostly mango) to spread awareness about the issue and show how waste can be used in a positive way

Globally we approximately waste 1.3 billion tonnes of food every year, which is around one-third of our total amount of produced food (UN environment). Every year Dutch households waste approximately 34.3 kg of solid food per person (Voedingscentrum, 2019).

In the western world, there is an abundance of food (resulting in insane amounts of food waste), while simultaneously people in third world countries are suffering from hunger

visual essay I wrote and illustrated for EUC for the course Climate Crisis. I made a collection of 3 recipes that explores some of the options of our future food. It includes ideas about protein substitutes, (insects and algae), alternative forms of agriculture, urban and vertical farming, and ways to reduce food waste and redistribute food.

PAPER

Kelapack disposable tableware is based on bioplastic from cassava and seaweed abundant in Indonesia

AGF klasse 3 consists of fruits and vegetables that are not 'good' enough to be sold, and so is used for animal feed and compost. This projects goal was to show the consumer nothing is wrong with these products by creating a cookbook, incl. pages made from the ingredients

Paper can be made out of multiple types of waste:
- fabrics (100% vezel): cotton, linen, viscose of wood/bamboo
- cellulose-rich materials
- Asperger peels
- paper waste
- green waste
- vegetables/fruits
- coffee grounds
