About ArtVinegar Azijnmakerspakket

ArtVinegar is een doe-het-zelfpakket om onvolmaakt fruit thuis om te zetten in vruchtenazijn. Het pakket bevat een glazen fles, een keuze aan azijnsmaken en een gedrukte handleiding. Kopers kunnen onaantrekkelijk of overrijp fruit selecteren bij supermarkten, groentemarkten of kleine boerenmarkten. De fles is gemaakt van gerecycled bruin glas via een bubbelproces, waarbij het bubbelpatroon doet denken aan de bubbels van azijnfermentatie. De lege fles kan worden teruggebracht naar het verkooppunt voor recycling. Voedselverspilling wordt verminderd en duurzaamheid wordt bevorderd.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: ArtVinegar is a DIY kit with a glass bottle for making imperfect fruits into healthy vinegar. Consumers can choose unappealing or perishing fruits at the supermarket produce section, produce markets or small farmers markets and the vinegar flavor they like. A manual is included. The glass bottle can be brought to the sales outlets for recycling. Food waste is minimized, and sustainability is promoted.
Dimensions & Packaging: ArtVinegar inherits the artisanship of vinegar officials in ancient times, offering fun experiences of pure brewing, soaking, tossing, and bubbling fermentation of fruit vinegar. One layer of sweet fruit and one layer of crushed sugar result in the change of flavor attributed to the fluctuation of temperature and the passage of time. ArtVinegar creates the fun of vinegar making.

Production Technology: The glass bottle of the ArtVinegar is made of commonly recycled brown glass by the bubbling process, and the Square sheng conveys the reminiscence of traditional vinegar making. The bubble pattern on the bottle echoes the bubbles of vinegar fermentation.
ArtVinegar uses "imperfections and gaps" as its imagery and brings sustainability to the vinegar-making experience by focusing on glass reproduction and the circular economy of food.
Design Challenge: How to communicate with manufacturers to sample products, explain how the cultural meaning and styling meaning of people, as well as good relations with customers, in order to have long-term cooperation opportunities.
Research: Problem.01 Every year, one-third of the world's food (about 1.3 billion tons) is wasted, resulting in an economic loss of US$727.3 billion, and 25% of the waste comes from fruits and vegetables.
Problem.02 Nearly 1 / 4 of the glass bottles will be eliminated after Glass industry are made.The glass will have some manual traces or small bubbles, high-temperature processing environment to produce "no manual traces without any small bubbles" probability is almost zero, but basically does not affect the aesthetics, not to affect the internal quality and use.
Inspiration: Since leftover fruits taste the same as appealing good fruits, it is ideal to use leftover fruits to make vinegar. Even ugly fruits have the potential to transform into healthy vinegar. This product advocates reducing food waste, creating additional food value, and boosting economic output.
Project Duration: In August 2020 began to think, in September there are preliminary design prototypes, 10 market research, in December with glass manufacturers, is expected to be in Taiwan in March 2021.
