Some are focusing on the use of monomaterials in designs intended for repair and recycling. Others are utilizing a new generation of biomaterials and striving to eliminate synthetic materials altogether.<\/p>\n

Low-impact Alternatives to Conventional Plastics<\/h3>\n

A multitude of startups are currently entering the market, developing highly promising alternatives to conventional synthetic commodity plastics such as TPE, ABS, and epoxy resin. Until recently, the prospect of ever finding a replacement for non-recyclable elastomers, thermosets, and adhesives was considered a major challenge.<\/p>\n

The marketing of a new generation of advanced biomaterials, capable of circulating in both biological and technical cycles, has just begun. Examples include sheet materials made with walnut shells from a Copenhagen-based startup, a biocircular elastomer from Switzerland, and fungus-based binders for linoleum adhesion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Especially in furniture manufacturing and interior design, where the traditional approach relies on combining natural materials with synthetic textiles and coatings, the trend toward biocircular biomaterials can significantly improve material efficiency by establishing closed-loop systems.<\/p>\n

At the invitation of interzum italy, Prof. Dr. Sascha Peters will outline the future of low-impact solutions for circular furniture and interior design, based on some highly interesting developments in the fields of mono-materials and biomaterials.<\/p>\n
