Iki gikoresho kirimo icupa ry'ikirahure, uburyo bwo guhitamo uburyohe bwa vinegar, ndetse n'ubuyobozi bwanditse. Abaguzi bashobora guhitamo imbuto zidasa neza cyangwa zaraye zihiye cyane muri supermarket, ahacururizwa imbuto, cyangwa mu masoko mato y'abahinzi. Icupa rikorwa mu kirahure cy'ikigina cyongeye gukoreshwa (recycled brown glass) hifashishijwe uburyo bwo kubyimba (bubbling process), kandi imiterere y'utuyaga (bubble pattern) igaragaza utuyaga tw'imisemburo ya vinegar (fermentation). Icupa nyuma yo kurangiza gukoreshwa rishobora gusubizwa aho ryaguzwe kugira ngo rongere rikoreshwe (recycling). Ibi bigabanya imyanda y'ibiryo kandi bikagira uruhare mu iterambere rirambye.

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.
Operation Flow: Step.1Enter the store
Step.2Buy a combination bag of vinegar
Step.3Go home and make fruit vinegar
Step.4Recycle the bottle
