Plantable Maps
… local environment. I created biodegradable and compostable maps using plant-based materials that visualize the spatial history of "blight" in San Francisco. Blight, originally an ecological term for a fungal disease in plants, was used by mid-century urban planners to justify redevelopment …

Institutional solid waste management, its characterisation and potential for recycling: A case study of University of Venda, South Africa
… the average percentage of all recyclables and compostable in the institution’s solid waste is 69% and 26%, respectively. A sum of R7,360,847.00 was estimated to be realizable per annum if all recoverable waste from the selected activity areas are harnessed. A solid waste management strategy has …

Developing Chitosan-Morphed Graphene Composite Based Functional Materials by Compression Molding and Laser Lithography
… polymers. Fourth, the CMGC is biodegradable and compostable when exposed to water or is mixed in moist soil. Also, it is non-toxic and can easily be used as compost to sustain plants without visible inhibitions. Fifth, CMGC can be processed by means of laser lithography to manufacture final …

Performance and environmental impacts of biocontainers in horticultural crop production systems
… Plantable biocontainers (as compared to compostable) are marketed as a means of reducing labor costs and limiting transplant stress during installation. Outplanting trials showed aboveground plant growth differed by container in two of the three species tested (cleome and lantana). In …

BioLIG: Designing Biologically Derived Electronics and Their Speculative Lives
… is a material for prototyping accessible and compostable electronics. It uses laser-induced graphene as an organic, bio-derived conductor and affordable biomaterials as the substrate. Three sheets and two inks make up a toolkit to create biocomposites with different properties, colors, and …

Free-radical maleation of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) in supercritical carbon dioxide and its effect on the percolation and deformation mechanism of layered silicate nanocomposites
The utilization of compostable polymers such as poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) in single-use packaging applications can mitigate the water, solvents, and energy required for processing plastic waste. PBAT exhibits exceptional elongational properties, but its moderate water vapor …

Decoloured Bloodmeal Based Bioplastic
Renewable and compostable bioplastics can be produced from biopolymers such as proteins. Animal blood is a by-product from meat processing and is rich in protein. It is dried into low value bloodmeal and is used as animal feed or fertiliser. Previous work has shown that bloodmeal can be converted …
