The Future Materials Bank is an archive of materials that supports and promotes the transition towards ecologically conscious art and design practices.
The bioplastic was developed during Carolina Elize Puppe’s final bachelor’s degree project in 2018.
The process aims to create a material which is less impactful to the environment, zero waste, circular and fully recyclable. In the project ‘Into the skin, into the soul’, she developed bioplastic and ephemeral jewellery. With the challenge of creating an object that is an ephemeral experience and also generates the least environmental impact possible, bioplastic jewellery was a way to reconquer the body as the main interface of experience in the world. It is made of a biodegradable material she developed, offering a solution for the issue of conventional plastics.
This bioplastic was developed based on other biomaterials scientific research and open source research shared on the internet but adapted to the tools and materials to which the creator had access. It was entirely developed in a kitchen, so it can be easily replicated.
