There are 21 million college and university students in the U.S. When we joined their ranks, we soon experienced a common problem: limited space and budget to spend on everyday items and essentials—everything from textbooks, clothing and sporting goods to irons, mugs, and pots and pans.
These limitations mean that everyone brings in the things they deem most useful, and each student owns a unique set of items distinct from one another.
We saw the potential for a service to coordinate sharing these goods to mutually benefit everyone.

This saying resonates with planners and low-risk takers and had always seemed to serve me well.
I started my UC Davis online MBA just as the pandemic hit and the world reeled. Risk was everywhere. By the end of my first academic quarter, life and planning were at a standstill, except for Zoom. I was worried about the future and even considered leaving the program. The fear of not knowing what might lie beyond the jumping off point had me doubting myself.
Most of the time, small things are overlooked and go unnoticed.
People assume that it is just one small item. How much harm can it really do?
When our group came together in a biodesign class, we wanted to bring attention to small things everyone uses—such as bandages, which millions of people use and that can add up to have a negative impact on the environment. Our product, Biobandage, is a 100% plastic-free, kombucha-based bandage designed to help heal wounds faster than traditional adhesive bandages. Biobandage uses kombucha’s byproduct, bacterial cellulose.
