This is the first application of my seaweed materi This is the first application of my seaweed material study, made 1,5 years ago. It was the first time the potential of the material revealed itself. It was also the final push to start giving the research full focus.

Since then things have progressed a lot and I hope to show you the results very soon!

Meanwhile, thank you for all the support you are giving!! The new nature economy can only be achieved together ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿคโ€๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ฌ

โ™ป๏ธHet is de Week van de Circulaire Economie, dus zetten wij circulaire ondernemers in de spotlight!

Als eerst: BlueBlocks met hun project SeaWood. 

"SeaWood is een nieuw bouwmateriaal gemaakt van zeewier. Deze vezelplaten zijn 100% natuurlijk, schoon, herbruikbaar en composteerbaarโ€, vertelt @marjannecuypers van start-up Blue Blocks

At @dutchdesignweek, a collaborative project of partners presented a maquette of a biocircular home built from various materials, production techniques and waste flows in #TheExplodedView. Together with various makers, we'll discuss structural questions raised by this ambitious project about the materials, the economics of scale, and local scaling up.

How can we, by working together with nature, initiate the transition to a new economy of not just taking, but giving. In this workshop, we explore various routes to a more sustainable soil, what a good earnings model can be to realize this and what the most sustainable solution is. With Luuk Braam from @denouden_groep and Fernande Pool, social scientist turned farmer and founder of AltVisions.

It seems like seaweed has almost infinite possibilities. It sequesters CO2 faster than plants and trees. A real carbon sucker and regenerator of the oceans. All kinds of value chains become more and more feasible, like BlueBlocks reveals. BlueBlocks aims to support the transition to environmental and economically sustainable (food) systems from a design perspective.

We are just getting started, as the installation will be traveling to different locations from here, and the research on biobased and circular building will continue. So all researchers, policy makers, designers, builders, makers, architects and all of you who want to contribute: join the journey and let's  make a bio-circular economy the new standard together! 
.
End of November the installation will be build in BlueCity ๐Ÿ’™ Hope to see you there, online or irl!!

For the semester 'Circular and Social Design', thr For the semester 'Circular and Social Design', three groups of students came to visit our workspaces at BlueCity and the BlueCityLab last weeks. So nice!! 
. 
BlueBlocks is a partner organization for this semester of Industrial Design Engineering at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. The students will work on a circular designed product with one or two of our biomaterials.
.
As our next generation designers they will at some point play a large role in materials selection and application. With such power comes responsibility, and the need for knowledge and skills to act accordingly. 
.
Working with these new materials will familiarize them with the strengths and opportunities of biobased materials, and transform them into concrete examples of application in sustainable designs.
.
Very curious to learn from them as well: how these new designers imagine and shape our future.
