Bioplastics Lab

​Overview
Make your own bioplastics from scratch and explore what a future without conventional plastic could actually look like!

​About the Workshop:
Plastic doesn't have to come from oil. In this workshop, you'll learn how to make bioplastics using simple, natural ingredients, and see first hand how their properties can be shaped by what you add and how you process them. It's part science lesson, part hands on lab, and a genuinely useful skill to take home. You'll experiment with different recipes to create both flexible and rigid bioplastics, and get the space to try your own formulations too.

​What You'll Do:
Learn the basics of bioplastics and why they matter Make a flexible bioplastic sample
Make a rigid bioplastic sample
Experiment with your own formulations and additives
Take home all your samples
All materials are plant-based and beginner-friendly.

​For whom?
This workshop is for anyone curious about biomaterials, alternatives to conventional plastic, and hands on experimentation. No prior experience needed
