In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to repurpose discarded food into sustainable materials, sparking creativity while fostering environmental responsibility.

Join us to explore how waste can have new life and purpose, inspiring sustainable practices both at work and in everyday life.

The United States wastes nearly 60 million tons of food annually—almost 40% of the entire food supply—with fruits and vegetables making up a significant portion.

But what if we could turn this challenge into an opportunity for creativity and innovation? Virginia Tech has developed a unique process to transform fruit and vegetable food waste into vibrant art pigments.
