The Design

About Caihu Envase para Aceite de Soja

Caihu es un diseño de envase para aceite de soja. La botella está fabricada con fibra vegetal recuperada de la paja agrícola que queda tras la cosecha de soja, trigo y caña de azúcar. La paja se prensa con moldes hasta obtener la forma deseada, creando un recipiente degradable que sustituye al plástico y al vidrio. Su bajo peso también lo hace idóneo para el envío por correo. Cada botella tiene una capacidad de 550 mililitros y una altura de 260 milímetros. La forma sigue la silueta de una vaina de soja, lo que hace que la botella resulte cómoda de sujetar. Una vez vacía, la botella puede reutilizarse como maceta.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: After harvesting soybeans, wheat, sugarcane and other agricultural products, a large amount of straw will be left. The straw will be recycled to extract plant fiber and make degradable fiber bottles. Fiber bottles replace plastic and glass to hold soybean oil, reducing the use of plastic and glass. After eating, the oil bottles can also make flower pots for plants. The shape of the oil bottle comes from the shape of soybean eggplant, which makes the product more comfortable to hold. At the same time, the outer package is also like a huge soybean eggplant. When you pour soybean oil, it is like golden soybean oil flowing out of a full soybean eggplant.
Dimensions & Packaging: Net content 550ml,Height 260mm
Tags: Non GM soybean oil
Production Technology: Plant fibers such as bagasse and soybean straw are recycled and pressed into bottles through molds
Design Challenge: Repeated experiments on the use and safety of materials
Research: Innovation in packaging materials and shapes is a very bold attempt, which can quickly identify products on the shelf and make it easier to cause topics on social media.
Inspiration: Usually, oil bottles are packed in plastic bottles and glass bottles, but plastic is not environmentally friendly, and glass is too bulky in express delivery. When you see abandoned plant straw, the designer thinks that it is better to make these plant straw into plant fiber bottles, which is more environmentally friendly and lightweight!
Project Duration: Example: The project started in June 2021 in dalian and finished in March 2022 in dalian
Operation Flow: Environmentally friendly and recyclable, please don't break
