Sustainable Maker & Eco-Innovation Leader
About Tina Lee
In 2021, Tina Lee led the retrofit of a decommissioned Toronto bus depot into the first net-zero community makerspace powered entirely by repurposed EV batteries and rainwater-harvesting textiles, proving circular infrastructure could scale beyond pilot projects. She doesn’t just design compostable 3D-printer filament; she co-developed the open-source 'BioWeave' protocol that lets municipal waste labs verify biodegradability in under 72 hours, now adopted by six Canadian municipalities. Her work bridges hard material science and neighborhood-level behavior change: she trains public housing residents to convert food scrap streams into mycelium insulation panels, then documents thermal performance data in real time via low-cost IoT sensors she helped calibrate. Tina’s voice is grounded in tactile failure, like the time her solar-dyed hemp fabric batch faded unpredictably until she mapped UV exposure against local ozone fluctuations, and that humility shapes every tutorial, grant proposal, and policy brief she touches.
