ORANGE PEEL WASTE BIO-RESIN
The Orange Peel Waste Bio-Resin project explores the transformation of discarded orange peels from local restaurants and juice bars into a vibrant, thermoplastic biomaterial. The material reflects the natural color, texture, and scent of its origin — turning everyday organic waste into a visually striking and sensorially rich design medium.
This thermoplastic material can be cast, pressed, applied, or hand-shaped, allowing for diverse applications across surface design, wall art, and tableware objects. Its material properties make it lightweight, durable, and fully recyclable, as it can be reheated and reformed into new shapes — extending its lifecycle and creative potential.
With its warm amber tones and tactile, glossy finish, the Orange Peel Waste Bio-Resin introduces natural vibrancy and depth to interior spaces and installations. It bridges material research, craftsmanship, and aesthetic innovation — demonstrating how local food by-products can be transformed into new sustainable materials and expressive design objects.
