insectmatter develops circular everyday products from insect-based chitosan, working with local partners to create regional synergies. Everyday items like door handles or rental table lamps for the hospitality sector demonstrate innovative ways of creating value. The biopolymer brings together local by-products and connects agriculture, industry and design, building a collaborative network where products can circulate and find renewed purpose.
