2024/25 WS Papplex is a bio-plastic material that aims to substitute the use of Patafix. By using natural materials such as apples, tapioca, water and glycerine I created a material that can be used to hang your favourite posters and pictures on a wall without using more plastics.

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.
