For the Circular Economy pillar and to introduce kids (aged 10-15 – middle school target) to the topic, Merezzate+ organised, together with Krill Design a workshop to demonstrate how food waste cand become eco-materials for 3D printing to create eco-design organic and biodegradable objects.

Krill Design is a start-up based in REDO Milano that uses food waste (such as fruit peel, coffee grounds, shells, seeds, …) to create a eco-material to create design objects with 3D printing.

In the morning of Saturday 2nd October, the workshop for kids has focused on three main parts:

1. An introduction to explain the process that brings food waste to become a bio-material for 3D printing;
2.  A tactile and olfactory session to get in touch with the materials;
3. A 3D printing experience.

Every participant has recived a little 3D printed present from the workshop.

On 24th September, Merezzate+ was presented as a case study in the event “Energy Communities pilot experiences: tools and practices for the creation and the management of Energy Communities”.

Giuliana Gemini (Poliedra) and Mario Motta (Politecnico di Milano, Energy Department) have presented two different features of the project Merezzate+ that can be adopted in other context in order to encourage the creation of Energy Communities: community engagement and innovative technologies.

See the contribution of Giuliana Gemini and Mario Motta and the full event in the video below.

Merezzate+ was presented during a virtual tour organised by punto.sud entitled “Circular city, transition economy and civil society – Get the experience from Italian practices”.  The aim of the conference was to explore circularity in cities and promoting a link between Italian experiences in the field of circular economy to strengthen organizations and civil society in identifying innovative models and best practices.

Merezzate+ took part in the Session 2: Smart city and mobility where mobility was seen as a vital part of a thriving urban economy. But mobility solutions that do not take account of economic, environmental and societal impacts, can also be detrimental to urban life. A circular urban mobility system focuses on effectively accommodating the user’s mobility needs by diversifying modes of transport.

Cities must promote transport sustainability policies, taking care to the most disadvantaged categories (elderly, children, disabled and people with serious economic difficulties). Specifically, favouring soft mobility and discouraging car using.

Merezzate+ mobility pillar was presented as a best practice for all its element: 2030 mobility vision, mobility community services and its co-design with citizens, the walking bus for primary school pupils and the promotion of e-mobility infrastructures.
