Making Coffee Bioplastic with EdibleMakerspace folks

📍336D King George's Avenue, Hackerspace

Turn coffee waste into homemade biodegradable plastic using baking ingredients. Join the EdibleMakerspace biohackers and the maker approach of learning-by-doing for a cooking-class style workshop where we discuss microplastics, sustainability, OpenScience, and of course, bioplastics. There will be a live demo of an easy to replicate recipe for bioplastic using coffee waste. The recipe lends itself to experimenting with other ingredients. Bring your own reusable container to take back a sample of the biopolymer that you are invited to cook up with others. Come join the conversation, try the samples, get hands-on with the cooking, or just listen and observe.

*Part of proceeds will go to sustaining Hackerspace beyond November 2024
