If you follow the latest news in additive manufacturing, you’ve probably already heard of Steakholder Foods, an Israeli company that uses 3D printing to design plant-based alternatives to meat, fish and seafood. It has just signed an R&D partnership with UMAMI Bioworks to take its work even further. The aim is to scale up the production of 3D-printed fish fillets, with a view to international commercialization and responding to increasingly worrying environmental issues. We’ll keep you posted, but who knows, you might find salmon fillets in your supermarkets in a few months’ time!
A Sustainable Alternative Material to Reduce Plastic Pollution
Plastic pollution is one of today’s greatest environmental challenges, with millions of tonnes of plastic accumulating in landfills and oceans every year. In this context, the search for sustainable alternatives is becoming crucial. In this respect, 3D printing is an essential tool for the manufacture of new, more environmentally-friendly materials. The use of beeswax in architecture, as part of The Wax Project initiative, is a remarkable example. 3D printing was used to create prototypes with lattice structures based on beeswax, a natural, biodegradable material that replaces plastic in construction applications. These translucent panels, produced from silicone molds, not only offer aesthetic and functional properties, but also allow for easy reuse, significantly reducing the carbon footprint.
