“Cooking new materials” is an independently developed technique which aims to process bio-waste into a soft but yet robust leather-like material. The seemingly useless food wastes will reborn with a second life. Banana and orange peel or soy-milk are combined with a natural binding agent as the substrate.

Bagasse is a waste plant matter obtained by food industry processes with major potential for several high-value products. An innovative idea of utilizing bagasse is for production of nanocellulose and testing this for wound dressing devices, manufactured by 3D printing. The next step in the development of wound dressings is the personalized aspect of the biomaterials, i.e. wound dressings that are structured and composed of constituents specially selected for a specific wound and wound treatment. Furthermore, sensors could be integrated into wound dressings and thus monitor various aspects of wound development, e.g. moisture and exudates in chronic wounds.
A new approach to waste management could help rural areas decrease air pollution, increase soil health, and generate clean power, researchers say.

Volvo and Rolls Royce are partnering with Air Burners, a Florida company, to develop the BioCharger, a way to cleanly burn wood and biowaste.
A wonderful way to brighten up everyday life and the day of cleaning – a washable and reusable design kitchen towel. The design dishcloth is also well suited as a small gift. Did you know that one dishcloth replaces up to 20 rolls of disposable kitchen paper? Environmentally friendly kitchen towels are made from cellulose fiber from FSC-certified forests and Indian waste cotton. We print cloths on a waterless printing line, in environmentally friendly colors. After a longlife cycle, the products can be disposed of as biowaste, creating new growth energy.
