Asking the hard

MAGICBIOMAT launches a new video series: Asking the Hard Questions

A short-form video series where MAGICBIOMAT partners respond to one challenging question at a time.


No scripts. No rehearsed answers.
Just personal opinions from researchers and experts working on sustainable material innovation.

The same question is posed to different partners, showing how the same challenge can be viewed from multiple scientific, technical, and industrial perspectives.

We start with a question at the core of today’s material debate: π‘ͺ𝒂𝒏 π’”π’–π’”π’•π’‚π’Šπ’π’‚π’ƒπ’π’† π’Žπ’‚π’•π’†π’“π’Šπ’‚π’π’” π’„π’π’Žπ’‘π’†π’•π’† 𝒐𝒏 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒕?

In the first video of the series, Leonardo Faggian, Researcher & PhD candidate in biotechnology at the University of Padua, shares his perspective based on research and real-world constraints.

This video opens a wider conversation beyond MAGICBIOMAT, inviting researchers, industry, and practitioners to share their perspectives on the same question.

Watch the video and share your view.


Does cost still stand in the way of sustainable materials?
