Problem Statement

؜78 million tons of plastic waste is produced per year from the food packaging sector alone.

1.05 billion tonnes of food was wasted in 2022—that’s nearly 20% of all food available to consumers.

Project Concept

Sustainable Packaging that Speaks Freshness

Eco-friendly meat packaging combining cardboard and bioplastic, featuring colour-shifting seals and bases to indicate meat freshness.

Tackles plastic pollution and food waste by giving consumers a clear, real-time signal of meat quality while reducing environmental impact.

؜Bottle revolver is a sustainable, reusable bottle carrier that holds a variety of different bottle types and sizes. Through an integrated rotational mechanism, the carrier creates a delightful, interactive experience. This device replaces current products on the market that non-reusable, shrink-wrapped plastic.

؜.My idea is eco-friendly noodles: the plastic seasoning packets are replaced with a bioplastic sheet that holds the spices and dissolves into the noodles, and the plastic fork is replaced with eco-friendly chopsticks.

This tackles a huge waste problem—Indonesia consumes 14.5 billion instant noodles a year, producing about 73,000 tonnes of plastic from sachets and several thousand more tonnes from forks.

With this design, we keep the convenience of noodles but cut out tens of thousands of tonnes of plastic waste every year....

Indonesia consumes 14.5 billion instant noodles every year, and with each serving comes plastic: tiny seasoning sachets and, in cup noodles, disposable forks. Together, they create an enormous waste problem—about 73,000 tonnes of plastic annually just from sachets, plus several thousand more tonnes from forks that are used once and thrown away. Most of this plastic is non-recyclable, meaning it ends up polluting landfills, rivers, and oceans.

My idea is to transform this system into eco-friendly noodles. Instead of separate plastic sachets, the seasonings are embedded into a bioplastic sheet shaped like a circle that fits perfectly on top of the noodle block. When cooking, the sheet naturally dissolves, releasing the flavors without the need to tear open any packets. For utensils, I replace the single-use plastic fork with eco-friendly chopsticks made from bamboo or another biodegradable material, which are more sustainable and culturally authentic.

This innovation keeps the convenience and taste of instant noodles but removes the hidden cost of plastic waste. By adopting this design, we could eliminate tens of thousands of tonnes of plastic every year, making instant noodles not just fast and delicious, but also far more sustainable.

Project Concept

؜•We created a bioplastic coffee cup made from coffee grounds — turning waste into a sustainable product.

•Instead of filling it with more coffee, you only add milk and ice, and your eco-friendly iced latte is ready.

•A cup that’s functional, sustainable, and deliciously innovative.

Made with care, finished with a laser-cut sleeve and eco-friendly straw

This project is more than design; it’s a sustainable experience.

Thank you.....

In this studio, we're embarking on a journey to reimagine single-use packaging items with sustainable materials.

You will select single-use plastic items commonly used as packaging and redesign them using two sustainable materials:

1. Repurposed items that would normally be sent to recycling/ trash streams
2. Newly produced bioplastic materials

Craft your prototype, experiment with shapes, textures, and colors, and share your insights with your peers.

Together, we'll showcase the power of creativity and innovation in crafting biodegradable solutions for the product packaging that is a parts of all of our lives.

Design Requirements

The packaging will be thoughtfully designed in response to the objects being contained, so product-specific

The development of the shop and its contents will be chronicled in individual zines that will tell the story of single use plastic harms as well as the benefits of the new earth-friendly packaging. These zines will also be on display in the duke.

The final project for the studio will be a recreation of a small shop/ convenience store in the studio space, where every element that is normally single-use plastic packaging is redesigned with repurposed or biodegradable materials

؜What is Mr scratch?

؜Mr. Scratch is an eco-friendly cat scratcher with a built-in food compartment. It keeps cats entertained, protects their claws, and can be reused until fully worn out. Cat owners can refill the bio-plastic packets with wet food if it finished, making it sustainable for pets and cat owners.
