AS GOOD AS GOLD - FROM WASTE TO BIOMATERIALS
15.12.2021 - h 18.30-19.30
at BASE Milano


How could we use organic waste that is otherwise not suitable for consumption? How could we possibly replace petrochemical plastics?

The "As good as gold" Open Talk will raise awareness on the potential of organic waste as a resource to make biomaterials. For that, the key components and processes behind biomaterials will be discussed, as well as potential applications and case studies within the fashion and design industry.

The event will take place at BASE and is organized by Opendot and Comune di Milano, in the framework of the Reflow and Centrinno projects.

The Open Talk is part of We will design BASE's program that collects ideas and research on design for Milano Design Week.

The Open Talk will be followed by the two-day technical hands-on workshop “EAT. SAVE. MAKE. Learn how food waste can become biomaterial" in collaboration with Materiom at OpenDot Fab Lab. Subscriptions at this link.
