Organic Matters
We’re excited to announce the 6th edition of the Trash Investigation Series: Organic Matters! Join us for two full days, May 27 and 28, 2025, dedicated to creative exploration and hands-on fabrication using organic waste.
Today, approximately one third of all food produced worldwide is wasted. Food waste is not only a social or humanitarian issue: it is also an environmental one! Between 6% and 8% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced if we stopped wasting food.
​
In response to this pressing issue, we’ve invited professionals, educators, and research institutions to take part in an intensive two-day design challenge. The goal? To develop and build practical, innovative solutions using organic materials.
​
In parallel, you will be able to enjoy a small exhibition of our participants' work, but also Squeeze de Orange, BIOMA, and B'Zeos. Finally, we'll showcase the results of the BioLaMer project.
​
Organic Matters is part of the BioLaMer project, supported as an EIC Pathfinder project under the European Union’s Horizon Europe framework.
