Researching new values for local wetland bio-materials, the project explores the potential of growing micro-algae locally. These algae are then converted into biopolymers that can replace non-biodegradable, fossil oil-based plastics. Currently, the bio-laboratory is working on a series of objects related to the region’s culture and history. Once produced, they should serve the needs of LUMA’s activities and visitors, who will be able to experience the circular production chain from raw material to final product.
