Material Innovation for a Circular Economy

All over the world, designers are striving to transform our economic system into a circular economy. They are looking for materials that can circulate in closed cycles and whose use has no negative impact on the environment. It is also about discovering new material resources and, for example, making natural residues from the agricultural and food industries usable for design and architecture. In the future most innovations are expected especially in the biological cycle.

ANCB The Aedes Metropolitan Laboratory, in cooperation with the Dutch Embassy Berlin, is organizing a program in autumn 2020 with the title “All Good (s): New Materials in Architecture, Design and Fashion for a Future Circular Economy”. The German-Dutch program examines the role and application of innovative new materials in architecture, design and fashion. Hon.-Prof. Dr. Sascha Peters had presented some of the latest material innovations for the circular economy of the future and took a look at some exciting research.
