Aalto University is a finnish university for chemical engineering.

The bioeconomy institute of Aalto university uses renewable natural resource to produce food, energy, products and services. They try to not consume the global natural resources but to recycle the products that already exist and to promote the economic development and create new jobs.

The problem is climate change and how can we make it better with bioeconomy.

All the extra wood from for example furniture could be used as a raw material for example clothes or biobased and biodegratable plastic products. The clothes could wore for example 20 years and that is a lot longer than normal clothes and it is better for the inviroment and after you use them you can recycle it and it will be a part of the circular economy. Also the biobased and biodegratable plastic products can be recycled and they will be a part of the circular economy.

We went to visit the university on wednesday, the 29th of january with the Erasmus+. They introduced us to their projects and explained us how they want to solve the problem with the climate change. We had a short tour, where we saw how they make clothes out of wood. They work a lot with their students who also come from foreign countries, and can get their degrees in english. If you want to go to the university you should be interestet in maths, chemistry, physics and languages.
