Materiom

Materiom provides open source recipes and data on materials made from abundant sources of natural ingredients, like agricultural waste. By making this knowledge open, we accelerate materials development and lower barriers to entry in materials markets around the world. We work with companies, cities and communities to support the development of local biomaterial supply chains that nourish local ecologies and economies.Our library features open source recipes for materials made from abundant biomass that can be locally sourced. Recipes use green chemistry methods and nutrients such as sugars, proteins, fats and common minerals, making them biodegradable by designOur ambition is to build an open database of material property and performance data that can be used for material analyses, digital modelling and product design. This will include mechanical and aesthetic properties for each one of our recipes. To date, we have initial data for our agar bioplastic, gelatin bioplastic, mycelium-walnut shell composite, and mussel shell-sucrose ceramic recipes.The properties of our materials are measured scientifically, so they can be compared to materials on the market. Data can be used to identify sustainable alternatives for product design.Register to join the Materiom community: By becoming a member, you will have a user profile where you can collect your favorite recipes.
