2024/25 WS Did you know that in Italy, 15% of perfectly good fruit is discarded because it doesn't meet the market's beauty standards?
RePom offers you the opportunity to use discarded apples that are too small or damaged, transforming them into a bio-plastic material that is 100% edible and perfect for making toy building bricks!

DIY Material Kits
Orange peels, peanut shells, avocado seeds, the daily consumption of our favorite foods often goes together with leftovers. What if we give food waste a second life? Taking scraps as the starting point to create something new? With these Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Material Kits we document and share our hands-on research with recipes to inspire and enable (future) applications.
