WASTE INNOVATION
alicia valdés selbach
founder of
German—Mexican MATERIAL DESIGNER + RESEARCHER
WMS™ revolves around secondary waste streams like food waste as the base resource to R&D new materials and systems. The practice moves between material research, design and fashion — from developing my own processes and objects to collaborating with brands and companies to rethink materials and their applications.
