OBJECTIVES:
Waste Labs began as an initiative to create new
business models for urban areas to help tackle the
problems of business waste, reducing the waste streams to landfills. As business waste (Mayor of London Business Waste Strategy, 2011) accounts for 80% of London’s rubbish, and 99.3% of London’s businesses are SMEs, I wanted to create a small scale system that could offer services for this particular
sector
DESCRIPTION: (3000 cha)
Glass Lab is a system for collecting and processing
waste glass from small businesses in London.
Developed by Royal College of Art student Diana Simpson Hernandez, Glass Lab collects glass waste for free from enrolled businesses in the local vicinity
and uses the glass as raw material to manufacture
products for the public sector. The collected glass
bottles are crushed on-site and graded into fine, medium and coarse filaments. These grades are combined with a vegetable bio-resin binder to produce strong and weatherproof products such
as light bollards, tiles and street furniture. This project is based around the idea of viewing waste
as a resource and using cast-off materials to create alternative economies at local level to empower small
businesses and communities.
Glass is the waste material with the largest volume-weight ratio making its transport very energy
intensive and costly. In addition, the recycling glass industry is extremely energy hungry, running furnaces at over 1500 degrees Celsius for 24 hours, remelting glass for reuse in the packaging sector.
The objectives since the beginning were to create
a new local system that would collect glass waste
from local businesses at no cost, process it at a Glass lab local facility and manufacture products for local
use. In this way she would highlight the real value of waste, helping to bring about a cultural shift as a result.
The project was shortlisted for the Sustainability
Awards at the RCA and she began a collaboration
with 19 Greek Street Gallery, where the project was to be scaled up and refined into a commercially viable model.

OBJECTIVES:
The “Bio-Trimmings” line raises awareness about global food waste issues while doing its part to
prevent food waste from entering landfills.
DESCRIPTION: (3000 cha)
Every day, millions of pounds of food are sent to landfills around the world, but one fashion designer has come up with a clever way to remove some of
that uneaten food from the waste stream. London-based designer Hoyan IP turns leftover bits of food into belt buckles, buttons, and other useful accessories.
Bio-Trimmings believes in crafting for the future of design and sustainability using science. By making beautiful jewellery & accessories from inedible
food compounds, mainly from fruit & vegetable components, the team is passionate about making eco-friendly, re-purposed materials to make a powerful, beautiful, fashion statement.Each feature is individually handcrafted to create a
beautiful, statement piece that promotes the endless possibilities and pushes boundaries of what can be
achieved within fashion, from typically discarded materials.
Presented with recycled sterling silver, using materials sourced from UK suppliers, positive, ethical and sustainable practice are central.
British-born fashion designer, Hoyan Ip is the founder of Bio-Trimmings. It is the result of a passion for jewellery-making and a desire to prompt positive change in the fashion industry. It is her connection with the vibrant and fast-paced world of fashion, alongside a love of art, architecture, nature and contemporary culture, that serves as constant sources of inspiration for the brand.
Bio-Trimmings was founded in 2012, was first showcased during London Fashion Week as a
collection of unique, sustainable, fashion trimmings such as buttons and buckles all handcrafted from
inedible food extracts.
In addition to the Bio-Trimmings collection, Hoyan Ip has developed more to the range including unique pieces of jewellery, handbags, accessories and bouquets to add to the collection of products made
from wasted food which have the advantages of
being mould-free, odour-free and meat-free as well as being a statement fashion piece.

OBJECTIVES:
To be part of the climate change solution by creating
plastics that are carbon negative, non-toxic and biodegradable, with engineered grade quality.
DESCRIPTION: (3000 cha)
A Canadian bioplastic company, Advanced BioCarbon 3D (ABC3D), has developed wood-based bioplastic materials for use in 3D printing.Founded in 2016, ABC3D was listed among the top five hundred deep tech start-ups around the world by Hello Tomorrow, a French tech accelerator. The mission of ABC3D is to develop sustainable carbon-free plastics for 3D printing to alleviate the deteriorating environmental situation.
Though bioplastics are available in the industry, ABC3D’s ultimate goal is to make environmentally sustainable bioplastics for engineering application.
The company boasts that their product is superior
to other bioplastics made from renewable resources
and is non-flammable and moisture resistant. ABC3D’s bioplastic filament is made from waste wood, therefore, the company is not in competition with the forestry companies. In fact, the wood that is used by ABC3D comes from poplar (or cottonwood) trees which are cut down during wood collection by
forestry companies. And since there is no market for
poplar trees they are left in the forest.
3D printing filaments made by ABC3D are a mixture of 60% plastic and 40% wood blended using ABC3D’s proprietary method in which resin is extracted from
the waste wood. And the leftover wood is turned into
a polymer. The resin is then added back to the plastic
and this gives the material its heat resistant and
moisture resistant properties.
Klassen explained the process, “The process uses green chemistry and starts with wood chips from the
forest industry that are mixed with a solvent and put
through a series of pressurized heating and cooling
phases to extract the resin from the wood chips. All
solvent from the manufacturing process is put back
into the system to be reused again.”
The biomaterial was developed with the help of a
$300,000 joint grant awarded to ABC3D and Selkirk College by a government-backed innovation cluster, Innovate BC.ABC3D’s materials are currently being tested at the Metallurgical Industrial Development Acceleration and Studies (MIDAS) fab lab in Trail.

DESCRIPTION: (3000 cha)
It is a new generation of bioplastic material for value added-products, which is both biobased, made of 100% renewable raw resources, and biodegradable, leaving no waste footprint in nature.
The material was developed for companies, brands and designers with a vision to create value-added products with a positive impact on the environment.
As a company with a strong sense of responsibility, Nuatan aims to accelerate the transition to a circular
economy by optimizing the lifecycle of Nuatan-made products from the point of manufacturing to
decomposing.
Nuatan is made of 100% plant-based biopolymers Polylactic acid (PLA) and Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) produced out of plant-based resources such as corn starch, potato starch, used cooking among others.Nuatan is one of the first fully biobased and biodegradable materials that can be considered
as a competitor to oil-based plastics in terms of properties and processability.
The material can withstand temperatures of over 100
degrees Celsius and has an estimated lifespan of 1-50 years depending on blend composition. When put in
an industrial composter, it degrades into water, CO2 and biomass.
It can be processed by standard plastic industry technologies like injection moulding, 3D printing, extruding, CNC milling, laser cutting, heat pressing, etc.
With its unique attributes, the material is optimized for the production of reusable durable products with
a strong focus on design, such as houseware, interior objects, furniture, toys, fashion accessories and consumer electronics parts and accessories, among many other.

OBJECTIVES:
Transforming plastic waste of cities into public space
with 3D printing. The New Raw works towards closing material cycles and strengthening local production
using an open and scale-less approach that is based on material research, digital design and fabrication.
DESCRIPTION: (3000 cha)
Print Your City! explores the concept of applying
3D printing to plastic waste, as a way to re-design urban space. As the name suggests, Print your City! is a call for action, rallying citizens to recycle household plastic waste in order to transform it into
raw material for public furniture, via a 3D printing process. The technology of 3D printing enables closing the material loop of plastic with a short
recycling path and a zero waste production process.
Furthermore, it can combine modular repair and mass customization, making a more circular city feasible with more engaged citizens and less CO2
emissions.
The first outcome of the project, which creates a circular stream within the city, generating more engaged citizens and less CO2 emissions, is the XXX bench, a furniture piece designed for the Municipality of Amsterdam. XXX bench can be easily customized in shape or function and integrate personal
messages or logos on it, like the logo of the city of Amsterdam. In this way it invites citizens not only to participate in the material collection but also in the
design process, thus increasing recycling rates and resulting in customizable parts that better fit the needs of their neighborhood.
Print Your City! is an on-going research project initiated by The New Raw.
It was kick-started in 2016 in collaboration with Aectual as 3D Printing in the Circular City (Stimulus project of Circular City Program of AMS Institute) and supported by the Technical University of Delft, and AEB Amsterdam.

OBJECTIVES:
bioMason grows bricks without using any heatThis method mimics a naturally occurring material
called biological cement, much like the process that occurs when coral is formed.
DESCRIPTION: (3000 cha)
bioMASON’s technology uses microorganisms to grow biocement™ based construction materials.
The Company’s products include proprietary
manufacturing processes and materials used by
licensing partners for incorporation in existing
facilities or on-site manufacturing. The strength of biocement™ materials is comparable to traditional
masonry, and is used as a green alternative. bioMASON’s products are produced in ambient temperatures using locally available materials, without fuel for firing the material. bioMASON enables savings in energy costs and zero carbon
emissions.
The formal inception of bioMASON began as response to an overwhelming positive reaction after winning
an international design award: Next Generation “The
Big Fix” by Metropolis magazine. Submission for the award was a proposal for a brick that was “grown”
in contrast to being “fired”. The idea to grow bricks emerged from a study of coral structure: a very hard
cementitious material created by nature in ambient
sea temperatures with low energy and material
inputs. The process has since been refined and continually optimized for increased performance and
reduced production costs.
An estimated 1.23 trillion bricks are manufactured every year, resulting in approximately 800 million tons of carbon emissions, due to the fossil fuels required in the firing process. We formed bioMASON because we believe there is a better solution for
reducing Co2 emissions generated by global masonry
manufacturing. bioMASON employs bacteria to “grow” a durable cement in ambient temperatures between
loose grains of aggregate; producing building
materials without emitting greenhouse gases, and without the depletion of non-renewable resources.

OBJECTIVES:
make a textile material derived from non-edible milk, biodegradable and 100% natural fiber.
DESCRIPTION: (3000 cha)
QMILK started with a small blender in the kitchen. The young lady who is the boss is a micro biologist
and makes diary proteins which are future oriented
inventions, which of course are not only 100% natural, but are also sustainably produced.Her promise – an organic polymer free of solvents, plasticizers and adimids, she developed about 3000 recipes. Also, it allows the properties of the material which enables eg hard or flexible. So all conventional plastics from petroleum can be replaced.
QMILK is a patented, specially designed spinning process. As water – and energy-efficient, zero – waste – is this procedure process very sustainable.
QMILK fibers are made of 100% renewable Raw materials and non-food milk. The QMILK fiber after a few weeks is biodegradable in compost. (DIN EN 14119). This milk is not suitable for food use and is expensively disposed so far as unused secondary
waste. This amounts to about 2 million tones anually
in Germany alone. The Green Tec Awards were
awarded in 2015. Qmilk is made from milk proteins
from non-food milk and renewable raw materials. The fibres are 100% natural, soft and smooth as silk and skin friendly. They meet the requirement of
innovative material developments. With a natural
antibacterial effect and high hydrophilicity, they provide added value of the fibre products in the growth market. The material has thermo-bonding properties. Thus, other natural fibers can also be combined without conventional plastics or phenolic
resins.
The material is flame retardant, and has a low density. The material shown on the photos is fabric
consisting of 70 per cent wool and 30 per cent Qmilk.

Bis products are the result of two different concepts that can be traced back to a common element: the
reuse of food waste.
Bis has two lines:Bis Bioresina and Bis Compostable, both deal with dishes and dishes, but have a different purpose, the first involves re-use, while the other one the biodegradability of the product after use..
BIS - BIORESIN
The Bis Bioresin material provides for the reuse of food-derived waste that in some way is able to imitate and replace commonly used materials.
The realization process involves the union between
dry waste and a transparent bioresin.
After the drying period there is a resistant and
personalized material suitable for any type of use, both for the production of products or even tiles and
flooring.The waste mainly used is:
egg shells, pasta, lentil and coffee pasta, which, given their structure, are able to imitate glass and stone from which two different lines are named.
BIS - COMPOSTABLE
The Bis Compostable material has biodegradability as its main characteristic, its goal is to use food waste as an excellent substitute for plastic, especially the disposable one.
Bis Compostable is obtained through the drying of any vegetable waste, minced and combined with simple water and flour.After drying it is rather resistant and takes any shape
through the mold.
The key idea of the project is to be able to make a
substitute material for plastic at home, for example to create crockery and bowls that are not harmful to
the environment and are easily perishable.

BIS - COMPOSTABLE
FINGERFOOD
The form of Bis Compostable is based on the study and analysis of plates and glasses of bioplastics, or of recycled paper. Following the principles of the
circular economy, a new design is defined for the table: cups of different sizes, totally compostable and natural, deriving from food waste and flour.From today, even finger food takes on completely new connotations.
Since the Bis Compostable Material is easily feasible, there are no defined shapes, but they depend on the stencil found in your homes.
Depending on the use and type of waste they can vary in shape, size and tone

DISHES
Bis Bioresin takes defined and flat geometric shapes for reasons of management of the resin itself, liquid and sticky if just used. The size of the products
depends totally on the shape of the silicone mold
that is used. The use of pastry molds currently on the
market is thus used.
In the food sector it was decided to use the Bis Bioresina material to give life tospecial cutting boards based on the idea
“From the plate to the plate”, with a simple play on words the entire life cycle of the food is highlighted.
There are two basic shapes: the square with a side of
20 cm and the circle with a diameter of 20 cm
