The last interview was with Beatriz Sandini, who studied business but later went into fashion. She saw what kind of waste that brought and went to look into it. She then joined the fabricademy and went to look into bioplastics and made wallets out of it. We talked about plastic waste that is becoming a bigger problem and that it’s a good idea to look at other alternatives. This can be bioplastic or something else. Right now, there isn’t enough bioplastic to make a system to dispose of it correctly but maybe later there is. The discussion about synthetic and natural dye is also interesting. For dying there is a lot of waste, like water. So, is it really necessary? Or can we leave it out? Another point is that not all synthetic colors are toxic so you could also use those. So, it’s interesting to think about, the bad should not outweigh the good.
