Participate on our Upcycling Contest (1 Oct - 30 June 2021)


The Upcycling Contest consists of you using your imagination to develop something by using - fully or partly - one of our raw materials.

Australia wastes around 600 tons of agricultural waste yearly, FIBO's ideal is to generate consciousness regarding this, and show the community that these precious raw materials can be transformed into valuable marketable by-products!


With this contest we can all put our heads together and show the value of Australia's agricultural waste!

SPENT COFFEE

Once coffee is brewed, often times the spent ground coffee gets thrown out. Ground coffee has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties,  there's more to it than you'd imagine!

This is a Level 1 raw material - the selection process for a contestant to receive this material is uncomplicated.

SUGARCANE

Sugarcane bagasse is a very fibrous product which can be used as a replacement for paper and foam products, biofuel, building materials, and more!

This is a Level 2 raw material - the selection process for a contestant to receive this material  - depending on the size and amount - is relatively arduous.

PALF

A single pineapple plant can produce 3 types of fibre, all of which are useful for the textile, construction, automotive, and medical industries!

This is a Level 3 raw material - the selection process for a contestant to receive this material - depending on the Type - is arduous.
