THE BANANA PROJECT
2021A research project exploring biomaterials derived from waste streams, focusing on banana peels as a renewable material. Inspired by the peel’s natural protective function, structural strength, and rich biochemical composition, the project investigates how agricultural waste can be transformed into new material possibilities.
Through a material-driven design approach, the project explores different production methods, the resulting material qualities, potential applications, and the ways people perceive and relate to materials made from organic waste.
Collab with the researcher Tiffany Abitbol, RISE Research Institute of Sweden
Research area: sustainable and bio-based materials, nanocellulose
