- Cleaning wastewater with adsorbent material made with citrus peelsPolluted water is a major problem in the world, especially if it contains heavy metals. Researchers from the University of Granada collaborated with the…
- New material can extract energy and clean water from wastewaterIn a world in which fresh water become a scarce good and where there is never sufficient energy, any material that can help produce either…
- Nameko Mushroom Mucilage Removes Microplastics From WaterResearchers at Japan's Shinshu University have developed a natural flocculant based on mucilage from nameko mushrooms (Pholiota nameko). The material efficiently removes microplastics and…
- Bricks made from recycled sewage sludgeResearchers from RMIT University of Melbourne, Australia, demonstrated that fire-clay bricks incorporating biosolids, a by-product of wastewater treatment, could be a sustainable solution for…
- Living Architecture is developing bioreactor bricksA house that can recycle wastewater and generate electricity from sunlight without the need of things like solar panels. Sounds too good to be…

- Waterschatten: Objects made from used toilet paperThe Dutch Water Authorities no longer see wastewater as just a by-product that needs to be cleaned, but as a valuable source of renewable energy, raw…
- lokaReboonlokaReboon is a sustainable and environmentally friendly material made from recycled disused coloured balloons. lokaReboon uses recycled coloured balloons as a raw material, which have a long life expectancy due to the rubber's excellent strength and abrasion resistance. At the same time, the rich colours of the balloons are preserved in the new material, so there is no need for secondary dyeing, no secondary industrial wastewater.
- Circular CeramicsCircular Ceramics designed by Sara Howard in collaboration with Kevala Ceramics, focuses on designing a new way of consuming that reduces the harm inflicted on our planet and preserves our natural resources - without compromising on design. This collection's clay body is made from 100% waste, sourced from Kevala's factory wastewater treatment system. The glaze is engineered from industrial stone manufacturing slurries and consumer glass waste sourced from Bali's rivers.
- KaumeraKaumera is a (hydro)gel that is recovered from bacterial biomass, that is fed on industrial wastewater. The recovery of biopolymers from waste streams makes Kaumera a biobased and circular product. The product consists mainly of (glyco)protein and polysaccharides.
- BiocompositesBiocomposite is a collective term to refer to fibre-reinforced materials with a natural origin. Basically any material that consists of fibres and a binding component (i.e. resin) can be called a composite. If both the fibres and the resin are extracted from biomass, it classifies as a biocomposite. Preferably residual waste is used to obtain raw materials. Sample mycelium executed by Joppe Weeber, student AKV|St. Not for publication.
- Algae and hydrogel coated tiles to clean waterAn interdisciplinary team at the Bio-Integrated Design Lab at the Barlett School of Architecture designed leaf-inspired clay tiles that clean water thanks to algae…
- A building façade with integrated butterfly sanctuaryNon-profit architectural studio Terreform ONE designed an office and retail building with a double skin façade that functions as a breeding ground, waystation and…
- C-SlurryC-Slurry is 100% Industrial Circular Material which is made from the industrial waste, based on the concepts of alkaline activated concrete. The performance of C-Slurry without cement could be compared with normal cement concrete. It has highly potential in developing sustainable building materials.
