Circular Ceramics
Sustainable ceramics made from food waste
The circular ceramics offer a solution to the food waste stream caused by the gastronomy industry and individual households which should not end up in landfills. This set of new materials is shown focusing on holistically sustainable design and customized products for users. It is made from local clay combined with food waste such as eggshells and seashells which is transformed into non-chemical durable tableware that preserves natural resources from the mine industry and reduces CO2 from production making. Designed for raising public awareness, longevity usage and dishwasher/microwave safe.
