THE BANANA PROJECT

2021


A research project on biomaterials coming from waste streams such as fruit peels. The investigation focused specifically on banana peel, based on its effective protection, strength, and the benefits of its bio compounds.


The project investigates different production methods, and aligns with tendencies increasingly oriented towards manufacturing with nature itself. The project employs a material-driven design approach to analyse the biomaterial's properties, composition, public receptiveness and associations with the material.
