I want to stress that these recipes are not my inventions, nor are they new. They are my personal variations at best, and this part of the work is heavily indebted to the knowledge collected and created in and around the Fabricademy network and other design and DIY biology communities, and also builds upon the (physical) Material Archive at Textile Lab Waag that was realised by Cecilia Raspanti, Maria Viftrup and others from 2016 onwards. Where it was known or identifyable, the related work and cultural origins of the techniques are referenced in each recipe. Techniques include: -- ***polymerization by cooking*** e.g. bioplastics -- ***curing*** bioplastics with natural compounds (e.g. calcification of algae-based plastic) -- ***extracting*** natural pigments in the form of inks and dyes +- ***hacking biopolymers*** using various techniques for renewable biopolymers, borrowed from cooking and chemistry e.g. algae-based bioplastics +- ***extracting*** natural renewable pigments in the form of inks and dyes - ***growing*** microbial cultures for leather alternatives and bacterial dyes - ***crystallization*** of molecules into organized forms (crystals) - ***re-use*** of biodegradable bioplastics such as PLA (for which reuse is considered the better end of life cycle option) -- GitLab
