Re-Using Circular Urban Fibres and Bio-based Plastics in Urban Products (RECURF)
ProjectRECURF focuses on the possibilities to process the new material combinations of bio-based plastics and textile residues in attractive circular products for interior and exterior uses. Together with clothing collection organization Sympany, the AUAS is doing research on the possibilities of making lasting products with the discarded textiles of the inhabitants of Amsterdam. Topics are the mechanical and aesthetic properties of new material combinations, the appropriate processing techniques and design strategies for application of these materials, the circular nature of the realized designs, including environmental impact and the end-of-life scenarios' circular business models with an interesting value proposition and revenue model for the companies involved, in order to bring designs successfully to the market.
