Light technology keeps food fresher for longer and could solve world hunger

I really like the innovative potential in this use of the right technology. With the global population set to top nine billion in 2050, demand for food is predicted to rise by 70 %. This great use of technology might bridge the gap.

This aesthetic really pleases me. 

Bcomp has collaborated with several academic partners (FHNW Brugg-Windisch, KU Leuven, FHNW St. Gallen) over several years to develop novel thermoplastic-flax prepregs, with the objective of matching the mechanical properties of flax-epoxy composites. In addition, thermoplastic matrices are tough and damage tolerant and offer the possibility of rapid processing.

Several application specific polymers were selected (stiffness, strength, strain or impact performance driven) and modified, comprising a cellulose derived thermoplastic and a co-polyoxymethylene (coPOM). As a first case study, a bicycle saddle sheet was produced with a brand new coPOM-ampliTex preform. 

This is a little different and more technological approach to the process of making a composite of the easy grown flax fibers.

It is estimated that the total growth and revenue of seaweed and kelp in Norway will come to grow to a total of 40 billion by 2050. A growth of 40 times the level in 2010.

Doing some mapping of some future thoughts.

Group made video for a 5 days project. This video was made based on the story and script of another film. Will upload the first one aswell. 

Could this be a not so distant future?

Could it be something like this? Totally isolated. We're in desperate need of shelter and we need to collect and store plants inside to get nutrition for survival. Maybe one can grow flax plants and both furniture and clothing based on that.

HOW WOULD A FUTURE HOME LOOK LIKE?

Adding a little video for this one to. Just a simple how to, and some interaction with the product in context, in use.

Adding a photo of a product that you really like, but that is not very sustainable. Who doesn't love coffee. A lot of discussion on these capsules in recent times. In terms of recycling, does it make sense to put leftovers inside a aluminium casing?

Here is the video. It´s a combination between different films and clips. Some personal and some taken from other videos. I´m trying to portrait the two different world this lamp is but in. The lamp becomes something completely else, when put into its unusual environment. In this case, a Scandinavian home.

Ingoing picture on our first task of the year. Find something that has some pretty good functionality and is quite environmentally friendly. In this case I must admit that I really don't like the look on this one, but I kind of brought it in here because of the discussions it keeps creating. I´ll add the video on the bottom for you to se.
