Today where headlines alternate between the downward spiral of the economy, unemployment numbers and statistics on the impact of global warming, eco-savvy product designer Taryn Zychal has had no problem turning her love discovering "found objects" into a booming new business. Her company, Recycling Zychal, specializes in the "rescue" and repurposing of broken umbrellas.
Her growing product line currently includes Dog Rain Coats, Organic Catnip Filled Cat Toys, and a modernized version of the traditional Polish babushka that she calls "the HOOD," all of which are made from stripped down salvaged nylon or polyester fabric once belonging to landfill-bound broken umbrellas.
Leveraging the current excitement about "green initiatives," Recycling Zychal is getting ready to rock the runway at this year's highly anticipated GreenFest Philly. Taryn has enlisted the help of fashion model and pop singer, Karina Bradley, to represent the new line of boutique styled HOODs. Along with the HOOD, Karina Bradley will be walking with Taryn's own pug, Betty, who will be modeling a matching Upcycled Umbrella Dog Rain Coat, which is Recycling Zychal's signature and most popular item.
Taryn shared, "I've made dozens upon dozens of dog rain coats and HOODs for people all over the world, and the business has been steadily gaining momentum, since I opened this past April on Earth Day of this year. My customers never seem to get over the fact that my products are actually made of trash." She continues, "Just because it was trash, doesn't mean that with a little finesse, it can't look fabulous and stylish.
Leveraging the intelligence of human stem cells, Amy Karle created Regenerative Reliquary a bioprinted scaffold in the shape of a human hand 3D-printed in a biodegradable PEGDA-hydrogel that disintegrates over time.
The sculpture is installed in a bioreactor, with the intention that human Mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs from an adult donor) seeded onto this design will eventually grow into tissue and mineralize into bone on the scaffold.
