BIO
PLASTIC
BELT
The bioplastic belt is made out of tulle fabric and agar based bioplastic.
On the surface of the belt are present some 24K gold leafs.
The texture of the belt mimics the smooth surface of a mushroom.
The aim of the project is to let the user explore all the experience of a mushroom
( texture - color - details ).
Bio foil
-
5 gr Agar
-
15 gr Glycerine
-
250 ml Water
This recipe works best when casted in very thin layers.
The foil will shrink in both size and thickness, but it will be flexible and translucent.
The belt is directly casted on the mold (mannquin). Repeat the process 3 to 4 times to creates several layers, and thus obtain a thicker bio-plastic.
It is possible to put materials between the bio-plastics' layers.
Cook ±40min at approx. 60 degrees.
