WHY?. Global perspective: New, more sustainable raw materials and production processes needed Resource efficiency, renewable raw materials, recycling, cradle- to-cradle, biodegradability Local perspective: Finnish raw material: wood Renewal of Finnish forest industry (paper & pulp) CHEMARTS at Millenium Pavillion 2014 CHEMARTS 2015 Eatable dish by Maija Järviniemi & Outi Mustonen (Aalto ARTS)

DWoC5 Design as a Tool for Novel Concepts and Products Pirjo Kääriäinen CHEMARTS / Designer in Residence Department of Design & Department of Forest Products Technology Cellulose -The Next Supermaterial?

Cellulose ‘is the substance that makes up most of a plant's cell walls. Since it is made by all plants, it is probably the most abundant organic compound on Earth. Aside from being the primary building material for plants, cellulose has many others uses. According to how it is treated, cellulose can be used to make paper, film, textiles, explosives, and plastics, in addition to having many other industrial uses. For humans, cellulose is also a major source of needed fiber in our diet.’

Various forms of cellulose materials
