On a recent visit to the East and West coast of the US, our founder Natsai Audrey Chieza brought the idea of design-driven biological design for the circular economy to diverse audiences. Her first stop was giving a keynote at SPC Advance, a Sustainable Packaging Coalition® (SPC) conference held from the 26-28 September 2018, exploring the future of sustainable packaging, responsible fibre sourcing and packaging policy. Natsai’s keynote on design-led biofabrication and biomimetic models highlighted novel approaches to circular design for the packaging industry. We are excited to be catalysing biofabrication in this space and hope to be able to share more news on our work in this area with you soon!
