Building off the success of a Young Innovators Award, HUID has developed two material qualities that it wants to push towards a product, and is working to ensure that its processing methods are as sustainable as possible. This includes working towards compostability certifications and conducting a life cycle assessment alongside the development of a working prototype.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
