London-based designers Rowan Minkley and Robert Nicoll use waste potato peelings to create an eco-friendly alternative to single-use materials like MDF and chipboard, called Chip[s] Board.

Shocked by the environmental impact and short lifespan of many readily disposable materials, Minkley and Nicoll set out to develop a material that, if thrown out in the same way, wouldn't have the same negative environmental impact.

The name Chip[s] Board is a play on the fried potato treat and the material chip board. The new material is biodegradable post-use and, unlike MDF, doesn't contain formaldehyde or other toxic resins and chemicals.

While MDF is a useful material, it is also damaging to the environment, with the UK furniture sector currently disposing of or incinerating 140,000 tonnes of MDF per year, due to its inability to be recycled.

The designers believe that the circular economy should be the starting point when designing any new products and materials.

They wanted to combine this issue of material waste with the problem of food waste, which sees a third of all food produced ending up in the bin. The result is a sustainable wood substitute made from the waste potato peelings created from industrial food processing.

The invention saw Minkley recently announced as the UK's "most promising young engineering entrepreneur" by the Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Hub, as part of its annual Launchpad Competition, which aims to encourage more young people to start their own engineering businesses.

After collecting the peelings from manufacturers, they put the raw potato peel through various refinement processes to create a binding agent that can be applied to their fibres - which include potato skins, bamboo, recycled wood or beer hops.

They then use this to form the material by heat pressing the composite into a robust sheet of board that can be processed into an array of products, such as furniture and building materials.

Once they have reached the end of their life span, these products can be sent to industrial compost to be biodegraded into fertiliser for use back at a farm where they were originally taken from.

As Minkley and Nicoll have currently filed a patent for their manufacturing process, they aren't able to disclose many details about the making of the material.

However they explain that the forming and pressing processes mimic the same conditions found in MDF manufacturing, except toxic formaldehyde-based resins are replaced with waste-derived biodegradable binders.

Peel Saver is an ecological packaging for fries made from potato skins

"As Kingston University graduates, our approach to prototyping has been through the art of "thinking through making", said the duo.

"The original development involved a lot of trial and error - mixed with some hack chemistry and educated guesses - as well as a strong strategy and vision to create a positive change to the materials industry."

This allowed the duo to develop strong and usable boards, with the help of co-founder Greg Cooper whose background in biochemistry helped them to experiment with each sheet, refining the product until it could be produced commercially.

The designers are also developing other sustainable materials, with a focus on bioplastics which have received considerable interest from designers in the fashion industry.

Also overwhelmed by the amount of potato peel waste produced by fries companies, Italian designers Simone Caronni, Paolo Stefano Gentile and Pietro Gaeli created an ecological packaging for fries made from recycled potato skins, as a sustainable alternative to paper.

As the packaging is made from 100 per cent potato peel, it is also fully biodegradable, returning to the biological cycle by becoming fertiliser for plants or animal food, just like Minkley and Nicoll's Chip[s] Board.

In the era of open-plan homes and mobile electronic devices, home designs are incorporating more multifunctional rooms into their floor plans. Kitchens with islands become both dining rooms and workstations. Offices double as guest bedrooms. Due to constrained space, some smaller homes require you to combine room functionality.

Are you looking for a little inspiration in creating your own multifunctional room? Below are some of our favorite examples.

Bedroom/tub areas

Fitting a tub into a small space can be a challenge, but sometimes you just have to unwind with a bubble bath, which is why some enterprising home designers brazenly put the tub right in the bedroom. You might wonder if doing so disrupts the look of the bedroom, making it feel like you're sleeping in a bathroom, but it's quite easy to pull off with some smart design choices. There are several ways to visually distance the bed from the tub, making the space look logical and well laid out.

Indoor play area multifunctional rooms

Combining playrooms with other areas of the home is a huge trend in home design. The most common, of course, is the child's bedroom. But other areas can be used as well. Having an indoor place for a child to play is a good option for areas in cities where it's less safe for a child to be outside, where the weather is bad for much of the year, or instances in which a child's outdoor play options are limited due to conditions, such as allergies. Below are several creative ideas for bringing the playground inside.

Kitchen and dining room combination

One of the easiest ways to create multifunctional rooms is to put together a kitchen with a dining room area. As open-floor plans become more popular, people aren't wanting a dining room separated from the main space. They want to be able to cook and socialize - at the same time.

The spaces shown below make great use of combining the kitchen space and eating area into one room. It's an especially good idea for small spaces or smaller home floorplans since it cuts out the need for another wall. It also means no one is cut off from the crowd while cooking.

Convertible bedrooms

If you're working with a truly small space, you'll need to get creative with your sleeping arrangements. Beds take up a lot of precious floor space in a small living area. Luckily, fold-down beds mean you can put a makeshift bedroom just about anywhere, creating a truly multifunctional room. Rather than feeling like you're in a cramped space, however, the ideas below show classy and multifunctional solutions. The beds fold up into seamless-looking cabinets, and combine with other must-have areas, like a home office or den.

Integrated home offices

Home offices are the trickiest beasts to wrangle into a small space. There's something that feels distinctly luxurious about them, possibly due to the belief that home offices are reserved for people with a bedroom (or bedrooms) to spare. These multifunctional rooms prove that you don't need to live in a mansion to have a home office. With some creative organization, just about any space can be a home office.

Here's some open-plan office inspiration.

For the homeless, small houses made of recycled building materials in the suburbs and cities are set up with greenery around them so that they don't look too out of place.Depending on their level of devotion to society, the homeless can fight for a better house, which also ensures that they won't become more decadent by getting something for nothing.
