How I Started :

Introduced to some principles and methods of material design and creation, with a focus on bioplastics. Starting with an observation of my kitchen leftovers, I explored the potential transformation of organic waste into new, innovative, sustainable materials.

Drawing inspiration from open-source and creative resources available online, I experimented with existing recipes and evolved them through my own trials and documentation. Through this process, I gained a deeper understanding of the challenges and possibilities in creating eco-friendly materials

Process

I followed the following steps to get to my finals materials and recipes

Step 2 - Selection of Starting Recipe

Researched and selected existing recipes with my chosen ingredients and started to procure the materials needed

Step 3 - Experiment, document, and evaluate

I started experimenting with the materials, altering different ingredients each time and creating a variety of samples and understanding how each sample/material can show different properties and uses. I created various samples each with a different characteristic and quality. I documented each step and made a final ingredient page for the best bio-composites created.
