Amber Valletta sat down with Biodesign Winners for FIT’s Sustainability Awareness Week 2021.
“Looking to nature for solutions to solve the world’s problems…is one aspect of what biodesign can be. I think biodesign is beautiful because of the vastness of what it can offer.

Despite some limitations, Rynkiewicz feels encouraged by the kind of unbound thinking she witnesses among her students. Sharing an anecdote of a student biting into an apple and finding fungus inside, then being inspired to develop packaging with fungus that consumes the packaging after use, Rynkiewicz said, “I would never have thought of that. I’m always surprised and excited by what the students think about…From what I’m seeing from FIT students is they really want that change.
“You need people on every side of it, whether it’s the sales team or trying to go and get investments to scale this project. These are new technologies and they’re going to need investments, they’re going to need marketing, they’re going to need distribution,” Valletta said. “We can’t do everything alone, we have to collaborate.”
