Instead of reusing them, as has been <\/span>the case up to now, mainly in biogas plants, for pectin extraction or as <\/span>animal feed, textile and surface designer Verena Brom has been inspired to <\/span>develop new material systems for various industries. <\/span><\/p>\n

The designer studied at the Wei\u00dfensee Art Academy in Berlin. In the <\/span>project “A Matter of Fruit<\/a>“, she produces various biodegradable films from <\/span>pomace residues that can be used instead of synthetic material. Visually <\/span>and characteristically, it can be classified as a paper, plastic or leather <\/span>alternative, depending on its thickness, and offers potential for different <\/span>areas of application \u2013 from interior design to the clothing industry. The <\/span>material is suitable for laser cutting and engraving, but due to its fusibility <\/span>it can also be welded or pressed into shape. In addition to the films, Verena <\/span>Brom has developed a printing paste made from apple pomace that further <\/span>expands the material’s design\u00a0 possibilities and areas of application.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the first cycle of use, the material can be returned to the natural loop: <\/span>For example, it can be turned into a plant pot that biologically decomposes <\/span>after being potted into the soil. This brings Verena Brohm closer to her goal <\/span>of using renewable resources \u2013 such as the by-products of the food industry <\/span>– and to use design as a tool to optimise material cycles.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image media=”74165″ media_width_percent=”100″ media_ratio=”nine-sixteen” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_horizontal=”left” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image media=”74171″ media_width_percent=”100″ media_ratio=”one-one” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image media=”74169″ media_width_percent=”100″ media_ratio=”one-one” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image media=”74161″ media_width_percent=”100″ media_ratio=”one-one” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image media=”74163″ media_width_percent=”100″ media_ratio=”one-one” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ back_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

“When developing the material, <\/span>it was important to use as few additives as <\/span>possible \u2013 and to push boundaries:<\/span>
how can different properties be developed solely <\/span>through different processing methods? <\/span>Using different techniques can expand the<\/span>
scope for design and influences the haptic <\/span>and translucency of the material:<\/span>
from smooth to abrasive, from transparent <\/span>to opaque \u2013 a big variety of options <\/span>are possible without loosing the <\/span>mono-materiality.<\/span><\/strong>“<\/strong><\/p>\n
