I collected about 20 kinds of food waste from her kitchen over three weeks, such as unused moldy or dried vegetables and fruits, or the skin of certain things, such as shrimp shells, eggs and grapefruit peels, and other common food scraps. After extensive experimentation with the materials, 12 of them were selected for use. They were then blended, cooked, dried and finally made into bioplastics, which were eventually compiled together to form a set of tableware.
