00:00Colombia is one of the most diverse countries in the world.
00:03It is not only expressed in variety of plants and plants,
00:06but also in industrial alternatives for the future.
00:10It is what the students and students of the Semillero of Biomateriales
00:14of the University of Jorge de Olozano.
00:18Colombia has a very representative potential in biodiversity.
00:22It is not only applied to what normally they have told us from the college,
00:30but also to the search of opportunities for sustainable resources.
00:37The experiments and biomateriales created by this Semillero
00:41have already translated into one of the most important design awards in Colombia.
00:47We have a material based on the maize,
00:53and with this material we participate in the Acer.
00:56Last year we won the Acer and the Acer,
01:02which was the best project of the year,
01:04with this new material that we created.
01:07These new materials are biodegradable
01:10and have as a base residues,
01:12natural fibers,
01:13hongos
01:14or even
01:14cáscaras
01:15de huevo.
01:17We work initially with residues,
01:20so in terms of costs
01:22it could be very competitive.
01:25This residues
01:26normally does it
01:27and this also contaminate.
01:30So we are doing a favor
01:32using this residues
01:33to create
01:35a new material
01:35that will continue a cycle
01:37and can be composted
01:38and so
01:38it can be very competitive.
01:39Every one of those materials
01:41where you see one
01:42one can work differently.
01:44If you want something more compact
01:45you go to the resin,
01:47for those properties
01:49that you give the material.
01:50The biopolymerers
01:51are implemented
01:54right now
01:54in vestments,
01:56in accessories,
01:57in bags,
01:58in carteras.
01:59These experiments
02:01permiten
02:01to develop materials
02:02with multiple uses
02:04of industrial production
02:05from materials
02:07from cooking
02:07to pieces
02:08for motorcycles
02:09and cars.
02:12This is a process
02:14that will evolve
02:15slowly
02:15and see
02:16that the materials
02:17have
02:18some qualities
02:20that are not only
02:21more light
02:22or more resistant
02:22but also more flexible
02:24and that will allow
02:25other possibilities
02:25in the field
02:27of the automotive industry.
02:28This semillero
02:29universitario
02:30has already
02:30made agreements
02:31with national companies
02:32and some
02:33use biomaterial
02:35in their products.
02:36I would like to think
02:37that what we expect
02:38in the future
02:38is a thought
02:39closer to the nature
02:41where you don't find
02:43a solution
02:43for everything
02:44but the nature
02:45solves the same problem.
02:48And in the future
02:49we will find
02:49many different options
02:51to solve
02:53for example
02:54a impact
02:54of a single use
02:55of a computer
02:56for example
02:58a computer
02:59for example
03:00an apalse
03:00to create
03:01solutions
03:01based on
03:03biodiversity
03:03and local talent
03:04for example
03:06to have
03:07a report
03:08for example
