WIM (Wheat Innovation Material) repurposes wheat waste from the food industry into 3D-printable pellets, transforming an environmental burden into a high-performance, biodegradable material. By integrating wheat husks with biopolymers as natural binders, WIM offers a sustainable solution for interior design, packaging and construction, showcasing the versatility of waste in creating beauty. The material is engineered to withstand the 3D printing process, balancing flexibility, strength, and printability through a precise formulation. The project leverages 3D printing’s efficiency and zero-waste capabilities, reducing resource consumption and carbon emissions. WIM is scalable, from artisanal pieces to larger furniture and architectural applications, and offers a circular, environmentally responsible alternative to synthetic materials.Additionally, it can be adapted for use in other processes, including injection and extrusion. This innovation aligns with sustainable design principles, offering a pathway to reduce food waste and plastics consumption, optimize resources, and promote a circular economy in design and construction industries.
