This project is part of
The Embassy of Rethinking Plastic

Bachelor's graduate Lio Huntjens (Industrial Design TU/e) explored opportunities for sustainable packaging. She used bioplastics based on agar – made from algae – and food waste. In combination with modern technology such as 3D and sublimation printing.

Exploring what is possible

The project 'Food for Packaging' explored the possibilities of agar-based bioplastics in combination with food waste for the usage of packaging design. The proposed packaging designs and samples also considers the use of innovative technologies for communication of brand identity such as 3D printing and sublimation printing. The goal of the project is to contribute further into the gaining of knowledge surrounding the creations of new packaging design through biomaterials, as well as calling for action for more locally and sustainable made packaging design productions and a better end-of-life cycle for new biomaterials.
