3D printing from algae bioplastic eliminates waste
Studio Eric Klarenbeek has found a method for turning industrial organic waste products such as potato starch and cocoa husks into biodegradable furniture and home accessories. The studio grows mycelium fungi for use as a coloring and binding agent that holds the bioplastics together once they are printed.
Longer term, the company’s goal is to create a network of 3D bakeries. With the maker movement continuing to gain momentum, 3D bakeries will provide makers with dedicated spaces for printing as well as allow for bespoke, on-demand production for a more sustainable business model.
Additionally, by growing and printing with algae, the studio is able to produce pieces that are even better than carbon neutral.
