- making use of food waste

Challenge

Food was understood in this project as a meta-topic in its material-sensual as well as social-ritual to political-ecological-economic and systemic dimensions. It was about applying design methods and motives, design strategies and forms of communication in order to discover a specifically defined problem and solve it by means of design.

Concept

Did you know that a single 16-ounce serving of cold-pressed juice generates, on average, 3.5 pounds of pulp waste? This can be used for other purposes and thus be reintroduced into a cycle. Our experimental approach has been to use the traditional production methods of papermaking to create other materials, such as fruit and vegetable surfaces to be used in different contexts as for example packaging, single-use trays, regular paper, etc..
