HuisVeendam開發的產品，源自於自然和環境中已存在的資源。他主要採用當地的自然纖維和澱粉。例如，這具備淨化土壤天能的生物層壓桌面，就是使用香蒲（也稱為水蠟燭）作為其主要成分。除此之外，生產過程中釋放的二氧化碳亦會被香蒲吸收並儲存抵消，顯著減少我們的環境影響。澱粉改性技術可以將廢物升級為有價值的資源，取代合成材料並增強當地植物纖維。通過使用當地材料和回收，HuisVeendam的產品進一步減少我們的碳足跡，並展示出設計可以如何促進，並推動可持續變革。
荷蘭北部曾經是鄉村富饒之地，盛產不同農作業，但不產石油。當地人一直依賴自然纖維和馬鈴薯澱粉維生，但隨著石油的到來，這些資源很快被淘汰。如今，隨著石油供應減少，人們再次注目自然纖維和澱粉技術，發現其卓越特性並應用它們的改良版本，創造可持續的解決方案。HuisVeendam的目標是展示出這種當地資源可怎樣再次推動產業發展，創造當地財富，並激發設計師將其應用於設計和時裝之上。

HuisVeendam develops products based on natural local fibers and starch. Hereby presented a biolaminate tabletop. A main ingredient of this tabletop is cattail, also known as the ‘cigar plant’. This plant has a cleansing effect on the soil. Nature is embraced here by looking at which forces are present. The technology of modifying starch is applied for upgrading waste resources, replacing synthetics and enhancing local plant fibers. The impact on the environment is reduced by, among other things, using local materials and recycling. In addition, the CO₂ released during the production processes is compensated by working with materials that absorb and store CO₂, such as cattail. The designs they generate are presented in the collection of HuisVeendam and are exemplary of how design can speed up the innovation process and lead the way in sustainable change.
About HuisVeendam
The rural riches in the North of Holland evaporated with the arrival of oil. A long tradition of natural fiber and potato starch technology disappeared. With the scarcity of oil nearby, the remarkable properties of starch are rediscovered and modified to offer sustainable solutions. HuisVeendam aims to show that this local resource once more can drive industry, create local wealth, and inspire designers to implement it in design and fashion.
