About Eco Lettuce Package 食品パッケージ、植物栽培コンテナ
Eco Lettuce Packageは、レタスの栽培容器としても機能する食品パッケージです。リーフレタスは、収穫後も定期的に水を与えることで新しい葉を育て続けます。葉は food として食べ、根は残しておきます。その後パッケージを裏返し、水と包装紙を加えると、植物が穴を通って成長します。数週間で二度目の収穫が可能になります。包装紙は再生紙製で、栄養分を供給します。容器は植物デンプンを原料とするプラスチックであるPLA製で、真空成形によって成形されています。

- 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.
