Cyclo.Plas 2: A Dual Focus Development as Alternative Materials to Plastic by Upcycling Fish Scale Waste Components

Plastic is a useful material, but plastic pollution is a huge issue for our planet and human health. Using biomimicry of fish scale composition, calcium salts and collagen, Jacqueline Prawira has developed a new material - Cyclo.Plas 2 - as an alternative to plastic, promoting a more circular economy and addressing the plastic problem.

Biomimicry of Aquatic Organisms in Engineering

While engineering can create outstanding products for human convenience, nature’s adaptations have been perfected over 3.8 billion years, and therefore have huge potential use as inspiration to solve human challenges. Alvina Mishra delves into the potential of mimicking underwater life, and explores the challenges of commercialising biomimetic ideas and possible ways to overcome them.
