Tree free paper is an alternative to wood pulp paper. It is claimed to be more eco-friendly considering the product's entire life cycle, but can it also be circular? Various designers, scientists and craftsmen work voluntarily to preserve the old knowledge and skills surrounding papermaking from residual flows. And in this meet-up we discuss them.

How to Biodesign series

Climate crisis asks for regenerative design. With the meetup series How to Biodesign, BlueCity Lab provides a platform for and by bioneers (pioneers in biodesign). Together with Emma van der Leest (founder of BlueCity Lab, biodesigner and writer of the book Form Follows Organism) and various other hosts we explore the opportunities from a systemic approach to raw material flows, making smart use of the latest knowledge and expertise about circular design, but also from biotechnology and biochemistry.

The monthly meetups facilitate interaction between bioneers who are already working and those who want to get started with biodesign and biofabrication, provide a platform for sharing stories and experiences and actively share knowledge, know-how and insights from the meetups to a broader audience.
