To fight the compelling problem of waste an ambitious waste prevention and resource efficient strategy is needed. But how can Europe decrease the rapid consumption of a significant amount of natural resources? Is there a way to produce eco-friendly products? The short film follows Jerzy Wysocki, the founder of Biotrem in Warsaw, who produces eco-friendly and sustainable plates and cutlery from leftover wheat bran. Showing the typical production process from the raw materials to the dissolving of the final product, the film highlights the importance of a turn to a circular economy that produces less waste and protects the environment.
