In order to create a recyclable building material, we use straw-like secondary raw materials from agriculture which are processed with a fungus to create an insulating panel. The material then offers many possible applications, e.g. in drywall construction or as impact sound insulation. The market launch is to take place via a pilot project such as a modular wall or a tiny house. Incidentally, the insulating material is compostable after use and can be used as a fertilizer. We are looking for system manufacturers and expertise from related sectors to implement our project. Let's grow innovation.

More and more people in society are becoming aware of the relevance of the topic of “sustainability” and interest is growing rapidly, especially among young people. To address this curiosity and social need, a city rally is to be developed in Braunschweig for 8th to 10th graders. Sustainability is multifaceted and ranges from waste and plastic avoidance, zero waste, upcycling and recycling, minimalism, energy, second-hand, fast and fair fashion to resource conservation through waste separation. Different topics were selected for the stations so that many aspects can be easily integrated into the lessons. The aim is to provide pupils with information through short audio inputs and to use various interactive tasks to demonstrate possible courses of action and the effects of their own actions and to encourage discussion, questioning and further thinking.
