As one of the first plants ever cultivated by humans, flax is currently experiencing a renaissance in Switzerland. The traditional material is being used more and more in various products and industries, albeit often in combination with composites that have a negative impact on their recycling capability. Mattia Gagliano’s goal is to demonstrate the versatility of flax as a plant, to abstain from combinations with non-compostable material and to retain flax’s natural characteristics.
The project addresses SDG 12, Responsible Consumption and Production.
