From the Publisher

Explore groundbreaking materials that make up our world including:

picnic benches made of newspaper

a vase made of corn husks

silk dyed with bacteria

a glass made from milk proteins

Recycled Newspaper

In most cities around the world today, a wide variety of information-packed newspapers are available free of charge for reading during one’s commute to work. After these single-use activities they are discarded and, on occasion, recycled back into paper. In contrast, WooJai Lee, a Korean-New Zealander who is now based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, is transforming used newspaper into structural bricks strong enough to build furniture with.

Corn Husks

Of all cereal crop production in the world, the maize industry is the largest, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, and the demand for corn is expected to double between 2016 and 2050. With these figures in mind, it is vital to consider what happens to the refuse from this globally consumed crop. The current method of overcoming corn waste – including stems, cobs and husks – is to burn it all, which is heavily polluting.

Bacterial Pigment

According to environmental news agency EcoWatch, the textiles and clothing industry is the world’s second-largest polluter, coming behind only the oil industry. From the chemicals sprayed on textile crops, to toxic dyes leaching into waterways, fashion’s environmental impact is massive. Zimbabwe-born, Oslo-based materials designer and systems thinker Natsai Audrey Chieza is exploring the convergence of biology, technology and design in an effort to create textiles that are dyed using bacteria and with no chemical fixatives.

Milk Plastic

London-based designer Tessa Silva-Dawson has created a series of vessels out of cow’s milk in an attempt to develop a biodegradable substitute for plastic. To do this she uses casein, a natural protein extracted from cow’s milk; she sources this from a dairy farm in Sussex, UK, that currently discards over 3,500 liters of skimmed milk per week due to the separation process involved in making its butter and cream.
