Plastic is everywhere. It has reached the depths of the ocean and every link in the food chain. Many of our consumer products and industrial processes depend on plastics - yet one-third of all plastics being made today will end up in the planet’s ecosystems. Developing biodegradable alternatives for plastic are among our biggest and most urgent innovation challenges.

In the studio "Waste to Wonder," students embark on a mission to reimagine single-use event items with biodegradable materials. From birthday parties to music festivals, the goal is to craft biodegradable objects that make a positive impact on the environment long after the event ends. Think decorations, accessories, or utensils and transforming them using bioplastics like mycelium, potato starch, or gelatin. Through students' creative endeavors, they aim to leave a lasting positive impact on the environment, transforming disposable objects into eco-friendly celebrations!
