इको-लेट्यूस-पैकेज इति खाद्यसंवेष्टनं वर्तते यत् लेट्यूस-वनस्पत्याः वर्धनपात्रत्वेनापि कार्यं करोति। पर्णलेट्यूसः छेदनानन्तरं नियमितरूपेण सिञ्चितः सन् नूतनानि पत्राणि उत्पादयति एव। पत्राणि भक्ष्यन्ते, मूलानि तु रक्ष्यन्ते। ततः संवेष्टनं विपरीतीकृत्य जलं वेष्टनपत्रं च योज्यते, वनस्पतिः छिद्रैः माध्यमेन वर्धते। सप्ताहद्वयत्रयानन्तरं द्वितीयसस्यसंग्रहः सम्भवति। वेष्टनपत्रं पुनश्चक्रितकागदेन निर्मितं पोषणं च ददाति। पात्रं तु पीएल्ए-नामकेन वनस्पतिस्टार्च-आधारितप्लास्टिकद्रव्येण निर्मितं वैक्यूम-निर्माणविधिना आकारितं च वर्तते।

- 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.
