[DEBATE] Rethinking Bio Waste – Embracing Uncertainty in Local Biomaterial Production

What happens when we shift from industrial control to ecological complexity?

Working with bio waste streams introduces layers of unpredictability, transformation, and possibility. Unlike standardized production, local and small-scale systems demand flexibility, creativity, and new forms of collaboration.

Join us for an open conversation drawing from years of hands-on experimentation with local bio-based production systems. Together with practitioners who are building alternative infrastructures, we’ll explore the scale, scope, and ethics of working with what industry often calls "waste."
