Bio plastic design

Studio Klarenbeek & Dros have developed a bioplastic made from algae, which they hope will completely replace synthetic plastics over time.

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

Guatemalan designer Elena Amato has created sustainable cosmetics packaging with paper-like qualities from bacteria as an alternative to plastic.

Chile-based designer Margarita Talep has created a sustainable, biodegradable alternative to single-use packaging, using algae.

„An ocean full of opportunities“ is a research project about the usage of different types of algae and algae based products to create sustainable sequins. The complete biodegradable biopolymer is mainly made from Agar Agar, an algae based gelatine substitute. It can be produced in a variety of shades, structures and looks. The biopolymer is dyed with leftover natural dye baths or colors made from algae.
