Designation

Experimental Material and Product Development

Description

In this study, experimental methods were employed to develop materials from household food waste. The addition of natural binders resulted in a flexible, partially water-resistant, and biodegradable material with circular value creation. All utilized waste was indeed generated from household food waste. The aim of this work was to explore the development of material alternatives through the utilization of organic waste and to test their industrial scalability. Implementation was carried out through experimental methods and subsequent product development. Material samples were created from orange peels, leading to the production of durable clothing items.
