The „Deliphane“ project researches renewable raw materials and the replacement of short-lived packaging. The focus is on natural gelling agents, from which fi ne, transparent fi lms and papers are made. Both are biodegradable, edible, water-soluble and could replace plastic packaging, for example for snacks, sweets or to-go products. The main component of the developed material „Deliphane“ consists of a combination of agar- agar and gelatine. Depending on their composition, the manufacturing process and the mixture of additives, formability, hardness, elasticity, breaking strength and heat resistance change. Thin, transparent, coloured, weldable, foldable: „Deliphane“ can be used in many ways. At the same time it seduces by its materiality.
