Sean has developed an attractive, durable, mouldable material from UK-sourced organic waste streams which can be made into truly biodegradable objects. Now he is optimising his material to increase production, expanding what can be moulded from it – and seeking funding. Sean is committed to his manifesto for The Green Industrial Revolution. Principles include: “Change the common perception that sustainable solutions result in loss of quality.” “Create sustainable objects at industrial and local scale.” And “Utilise 100% naturally degradable and renewable waste, ultimately to avoid extraction of resources.”

Sean won the Young Innovators Award 2020/2021 from Innovate UK and the 2023 Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation Award. “I’m experienced in industrial and community design and believe industrial ecology practices and open-source tools can bring much-needed sustainability to everyday life.”

Sean has an MA from the Royal College of Art.
