About Eco Lettuce Package 식품 포장재, 식물 재배 용기

에코 레터스 패키지는 상추를 재배하는 용기로도 사용할 수 있는 식품 포장재입니다. 잎상추는 수확 후에도 정기적으로 물을 주면 계속해서 새 잎을 틔웁니다. 잎은 먹고 뿌리는 남겨 둡니다. 그런 다음 패키지를 뒤집어 물과 포장지를 넣어 주면 식물이 구멍을 통해 자라납니다. 몇 주 안에 두 번째 수확이 가능합니다. 포장지는 재생지로 만들어져 영양분을 공급합니다. 용기는 식물 전분을 원료로 한 플라스틱인 PLA로 제작되었으며, 진공 성형 방식으로 형태를 잡았습니다.

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.
