Crafting Biopolymers is an ongoing research topic to discover new methodologies in making circular design materials. A important key subject within the M.S. HD program is to teach students to create sustainable and healthy design systems within any design process. As a response, this research aims to merge additive manufacturing processes with bio based materials such as food waste. Thus, the following images here depict investigations from a small scale to figure out recipes and making process in creating these bio based materials.
