Waste Remanufactured: Utilizing Circular Economies & Mycelium Based Solutions to Create Zero Waste Products
2022
Overview
It’s clear that waste management is becoming a more prominent issue. From plastics in our oceans to greenhouse gasses, waste surrounds us and it’s starting to take a toll. The linear flow model for consumption of taking, making and wasting may be the standard but we as designers have the agency to change this by shaping and moving consumer habits towards more sustainable solutions. By utilizing a circular flow economy, wherein the waste generated from manufacturing is used back in the production cycle, products can reach a lower carbon footprint before reaching the consumer. With materials like metal, plastic and glass this is as easy as re-melting and reforming, but what about wood products? This milling waste would normally end up in a landfill, producing greenhouse gasses and leaching chemicals into local water systems. But through advancements in mycelium based technologies, it can instead be used as a substrate to grow mycelium based composite materials. These materials can then be used back in the products that originally produced the waste. Introducing Waste Remanufactured, a wood milling and waste recycling system, that utilizes mycelium to grow the products we use.
