Enter the world of biomaterials!

In this course you will learn the entire process for creating bioplastics

from organic waste. This is a pre-recorded course which you can consult as many times as necessary.

What will you learn in this course?

We will start by discovering the leaders of the sector, those who inspire us and help us stay up to date in the world of sustainability.

Next, we will distinguish the different types of bioplastics depending on the waste with which they are made. Analyzing its basic characteristics and aesthetics.

We will explain the tools and ingredients necessary, with exact measurements, to the production of bioplastics. And we will get to work carrying out the entire process step by step!

Finally, we will explain the importance of the drying process and to go a little further, we will talk about final finishes and possible applications.

Class 1 -

Agro Biomaterials Presentation

In this unit we will talk about ourselves: who we are, what types of projects we like to participate in and why, what we have learned during these years and above all where we want to go.

Class 2 -

Influences and references within

from the world of biomaterials

In this unit we will talk about the influences and references that move us and we have been finding

in the path. They are varied, from designers, manufacturing companies, artists and organizations. We believe that it is important to be up to date with what is happening around us, knowing what others are doing to enrich ourselves with the great variety of projects that exist in the world.

This unit includes a PDF file to download with all the references mentioned.

Including a small description of each one as well as their social networks and web pages.

Class 3 -

Ingredients and characteristics

In this unit we will explain the ingredients necessary for the production of bioplastics.

The proportion between ingredients is essential, that is why we give great importance to the fair measurements that we must use. We will also comment exhaustively on the basic characteristics that make up bioplastics.

What are its benefits and drawbacks to later take into account in which situations

These new compostable materials can be useful to us.

This unit includes a PDF file to download the necessary ingredients with the exact quantities, without the need to take notes during the video.

Class 4 -

Tools and workspace

In this unit we will explain the tools necessary for the production of bioplastics.

These are basic tools that we can find at home.

We will also talk about the importance of working in a comfortable and pleasant space.

This unit includes a PDF file to download the necessary tools, without the need

to take notes during the video.

Class 5 -

Recipe for preparation of bioplastics

In this lesson you will learn how to calculate the mixture necessary for the production of bioplastics.

We will go, step by step, explaining the entire process so that you can use it in your next bioplastics.

We will teach you not to mix too much and avoid generating waste. We will continue with the correct extension of the mixture to avoid subsequent fractures in the material once it is cooling.

Class 6 -

Drying process

In this unit we are going to delve into the importance of the drying process. We will explain which

It is the correct technique to obtain large-sized sheets, as well as the technique to avoid fractures of the biomaterial during drying. We will talk about the ideal temperature and humidity, as well as the subsequent extraction of the bioplastic.

Class 7 -

Final finishes and possible applications

In this unit you will learn how to make the most of your bioplastic. First we will show you the techniques you can use to apply design to your bioplastics. Later, we will talk about different casting techniques, including sewing. And finally we will show you some simple applications that you can make with bioplastics.

Class 8 -

Thanks

We are delighted with the community that we have been creating together, there are more and more biomakers who want to change the world for the better! Now, let's get to work!
