Human Practices

For the StyGreen project, Human Practices was not a box that needed to be filled. It was a tool to integrate our project in the real world. As we are producing plastics, from the beginning Human Practices was very important, as it is a very sensitive subject. However, by talking to a lot of stakeholders, from suppliers to buyers and start-ups to multinationals, we have gained a lot of insights of how the plastic world works, and how we fit in this picture.

As Human Practices is not an binary subject, but something that you are working on the whole day, we gave a summary of the biggest influences on the design of our project. However, a lot of insight we had as well by talking to friends, family and complete strangers. One of the first questions always was: “why more plastics?”. We have thought about this a lot, and thought about what is good and what is bad about plastics. We did research in the new ‘biodegradable’ plastics (Katja Loos Link), as well as chemically created bio-plastics.

Project Timeline

To get a good overview, we invite you to have a look at our thought tree. This tree catched the new light in its leaves, and by choosing the right and wrong from it grew into a great tree. Also we had great conversations on how to grow the tree bigger if iGEM is ended. How to scale up the product, and which safety procedures we had to keep in mind.
