Designers are talking more and more about the circular economy and avoiding waste, the areas in which they seek to make changes become ever more specific. The London-based Nicole Stjernswärd focuses on inspiring sustainable projects for our society and the environment. Her latest project KAIKU is part of MA/MSc Innovation Design Engineering at Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art, 2019.
KAIKU Living Color is a machine that creates colors from plant waste – a sustainable alternative to synthetic colors derived from petroleum. KAIKU transforms waste from everyday foods, like avocados, into a high-value resource – pigments you can paint with.
“I want to find convergences between user needs, smart business practices and environmental stewardship,”
The sustainable alternative to color made from petroleum using plant waste.
