In June, the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin presents the Digital Science Communication Coffee. Get ready to get exciting insights from scientists into their work while drinking coffee in front of the screens in a relaxed atmosphere. Everyone is invited to ask questions and contribute to the entertainment. This event is part of the [bio'nd] project on the occasion of the Science Year for bioeconomy, which is being realized at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin in cooperation with the IZT - Institute for Futures Studies and Technology Assessment and Ellery Studio.
T-shirts made of coffee grounds or wood? Clothes made of algae? Jackets made of spider threads? Vegan shoes made of fermented tea? Raincoats and bags made of compostable plastic insect carapaces? What will the things of our everyday life be made of in the future? How will the bio-economy clothe us in the future and how will it feel on our skin? The textile and design industry is already experimenting in many ways with bio-based materials under the buzzwords "Green Design", "Sustainable Design" or "Circular Design", some of which have already been successfully tested. So how do sustainability designers produce? Where are the opportunities and challenges of biobased textiles and materials?
