Description

The ‘Ecofusion’ project is based on my bachelor thesis of the same name: How can sustainable materials be established in our economic system?
My answer in a sentence: Develop products with green/bio-based materials with a focus on recycling as an economic advantage. This will encourage scaling and research that will make sustainable materials more competitive and mainstream. ‘Ecofusion’ is my founding project based on this idea to develop lightweight and 100% recyclable cooling units. The manufacturing process is based on the use of natural fibres, bioplastics and mycelium-based foam substitutes to eliminate pollutants and enable recycling.
