C-creators Knowledge Innovation Day

Event

When:
  • Dec 14th, 2021 | 13:50 - 14:35h
Location:
  • Online

C-creators organizes a knowledge innovation day on circular building (Dec 14). Our Research Fellow Mariet Suaerwein will tell you all about how the COMPRO Projects forms toiletpaper and wastewater into structures for circular building.

In the COMPRO project a biobased composite material is developed in a consortium with knowledge institutes and industry partners. This biocomposite is named Re-plex. Re-plex is a material made from wastewater. In Re-plex the bacterial ‘glue’ Kaumera (produced in a wastewater treatment) is combined with cellulose fibers from retrieved toilet paper to yield a circular and biobased composite material. Within the COMPRO projects we are looking into suitable applications, like structures for nature restoration and options for construction.

Project

Wastewater to bio-composites

Circularity in Urban Regions

Amsterdam’s wastewater can be used as feedstock for producing high-value bio-composites, which can be applied in transport, building or other urban sectors. As such, these composites contribute to a more circular urban society.

Bridges from flushed toilet paper

Circularity in Urban Regions

Currently, large flows of waste discharged in urban areas are not optimally recycled. As resources are ultimately finite, there is a growing urge to recycle waste-streams in an urban context. So, what if we could build bridges from flushed toilet paper?
