The pan-European BLOOM project
A great European project – the BLOOM project
NaKu is part of the Europe-wide BLOOM project! Together with 11 organizations from 8 European countries, the Ecosocial Forum Austria & Europe, as a so-called "hub leader" for Austria and Germany, worked to bring together important players in the field of bioeconomy, to increase understanding among the population and to create a platform for discussion to accomplish.
And NaKu was there with its products made of natural plastic - this project was very exciting for us, because we consider information and education to be particularly important.
As part of this project, a teaching kit for schools was put together, containing products made from natural raw materials as visual aids. Our NaKu products made from natural plastic or bioplastic demonstrate how conventional plastic made from petroleum can be replaced with natural plastic made from rapidly renewable resources.
According to the German & Austrian Hub, the goal or motto was:
“Showcase that the bioeconomy can develop new innovative products and materials. Thereby the bioeconomy provides economic opportunities for manifold sectors, industries and products and diminishes the environmental burden caused by the fossil-based economy. We aim to better integrate stakeholders and increase the general understanding for a bioeconomy and its potential on a finite planet.”
