From supply chain to social spaces, this project investigates how different types of local food waste could potentially influence a spatial design for a building.

The proposed programme provides a career pathway for financially disadvantaged children in Peterborough, in the form of a community culinary school.

The technical focus of the project is the transition to bio-based materials for a circular economy. Experiments were conducted to produce bio-based materials from food waste using different binders to create varying properties, which can then be used as building components – such as tiles or windows.
