About Eco Lettuce Package Príomhfheidhm: Pacáistiú Bia, Coimeádán Fáis Plandaí

Téacs an Leabhair: Is pacáiste bia é Pacáiste Leitíse Éiceolaíoch a fhónann freisin mar choimeádán fáis don leitís. Leanann leitís dhuilleach ar aghaidh ag táirgeadh duilleog nua nuair a chuirtear uisce uirthi go rialta tar éis bearradh. Itear na duilleoga agus coinnítear na fréamhacha. Iompaítear an pacáiste ansin bunoscionn, cuirtear uisce agus an páipéar fillte leis, agus fásann an planda tríd na poill. Tá dara bailiú fómhair indéanta laistigh de chúpla seachtain. Tá an páipéar fillte déanta as páipéar athchúrsáilte agus soláthraíonn sé cothú. Tá an coimeádán déanta as PLA, plaisteach atá bunaithe ar stáirse plandaí, agus tá sé cruthaithe trí mhúnlú folúis.

Production Technology: The material of package is PLA, a plastic substitute made from fermented plant starch plastic which is environmental-friendly material. The package can be manufactured by vacuums forming. The wrapping paper is made by recycling paper which absorbs plant nutrition.
Design Challenge: The function of packaging the lettuce and be a plant growing container will influence the appearance. The shape of package have been test to find the best solution to satisfy these 2 functions.
Research: We produce 133 billion pounds food per year but about one third of food we produce is not consumed but throw away, it takes a ton of resources(Water, labor, oil and land energy) to produce food. Furthermore, this wasted food is a huge contributor to climate change. when it decomposes, it isn't just stinky. It releases potent greenhouse gases such as methane. Especially vegetables waste, we trow away 60% packaged lettuce. If we buy a lettuce and can continually plant and eat them easily that could be a solution to lighten the environment pressure.
Inspiration: Inspired by the lettuce growth process. Leaf-lettuce can continue growing to produce leaves if regularly watered after trimming. This unique feature can make people grow lettuce by themself instead buying vegetables all the time.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2018 in Ningbo, and finished in December.
Operation Flow: The lettuce is alive before it is shipped to the customer. Users can eat the leaves part and keep the roots. Flip the package, add the water and nutrition paper and grow the lettuce through the holes. After several weeks users can get three new lettuce.
