We, Chito matrix, upcycle seafood shell waste into smart COS hydrogel patches that repair wounds, fight bacteria & biofilms, and warn users early for hospitality need through a color-changing hydrogel. Built for users for look for sustainable, high quality, and long-lasting first-aid kits.
Reduce small-wound risk before it becomes a big problem, eliminate all possible consequences of an injury, and return users a fresh body without any possible scar.
Cuts in cold, wet, and unsanitized conditions are easily contaminated by bacteria (e.g., Vibrio, E.coli). Conventional bandages aren't sufficient to eliminate inflammation completely, while shell waste is landfilled at scale. We turn that waste into targeted, affordable protection that offers better treatments for users.
Hi everyone! I am Stephen, someone who is passionate about the sustainability field, biology, and most importantly, contributes to a big global issue with all my efforts even when it turns out small! I joined this group because I truly see a need for recycling waste and transforming it into an essential resource via moderate, controllable, and high efficiency methods. I believe that our value will be seen and our product will eventually bring customers security to life, such as scars, inflammation, and possible second injury will never be a concern in the future. I look forward to expanding this initiative and open to seeing any possible collaboration with other projects!
I'm Ivan, a student that is passionate about environmental science. I am dedicated in turning sustainable ideas into tangible impacts. I joined this group because I believe that our group could use wastes to provide value through an efficient and environmentally friendly method. We see that crab and shrimp shells are discarded annually, this is a significant waste of valuable biomaterials. By transforming this waste into healing chemicals for wound care, we can create a high-value medical solutions, while directly reduce pollution and promote a greener planet.
Hello everyone! I'm Avianna, a Y10 student whose passion for biology stems from a simple yet profound desire to learn: to observe how living organisms repair and regenerate. Whether it's a butterfly breaking out of its chrysalis or a scraped knee healing over time, these tiny acts of biological resilience have always left me in awe. I joined this group because I was curious about how natural resources could be applied, especially how transforming discarded bio-materials such as crab and shrimp shells into life- and environmentally-friendly wound care solutions was more than just an innovative idea to me; it was a process of generating value out of environmental waste once again. With this curiosity, I am looking forward to and enthusiastic about the research and production of this product, and I hope that the results of this research can be popularized and applied.
Hi, I am Alex, a member of an organization with the goal of creating and expanding sustainable, practical solutions for business and environmental issues on both a local and global scale. As such, I am committed to helping resolve the world's many challenges one step at a time, starting at home. By helping to convert industrial waste into a valuable resource, we will be creating products that will help alleviate the discomfort caused by chronic pain and help the healing process of injuries. I believe this is a valuable, innovative project with many possibilities, and I look forward to working with other great projects on this path toward growth.
Hi, my name is MingHon Li, and I'm currently an 11th grade student studying in China, GuangDong, Basis International Parkland Harbor. My academic interest lies in biology environmental studies, while my daily hobbies include playing basketball and pc games. As my academic interests developed, I began to study more about the world around us and how we interact with it economically in past years, including research in Yun Nan about the honey and beehive industry there. Now, I'm thrilled to introduce ChitoMatrix alongside my teammates—an innovation that ties together my love for sustainability and biological solutions!
