In recent years, waste resulting from packaging has soared, mainly due to the rapid growth of e-commerce. While e-commerce has undoubtedly made our lives much more convenient and efficient, the sheer amount of waste it produces should not be taken lightly. With each delivery, more packaging waste is generated.
Loop aims to close the consumption loop and move towards a circular economy by simplifying the process of recycling and up-cycling. Through packaging and interactive design solutions, we hope to bring about positive user experience for the consumers, hence, encouraging sustainable behaviours in our community.
Let’s play our part and close the loop, one box at a time!
We have a tendency to throw things away when it has reached the end of its life cycle, this project is about extending that life cycle and creating a circular economy. Reusing discarded materials and creating new utilities and beauty.
Globally, it is a norm to crave for new things and dispose the unwanted and the old. It is especially so in Singapore, where everything is constantly new and refurbished. The author wants people to re-evaluate the things we discard, what is trash and what is not? How can ordinary and forgotten things tell an extraordinary story.
This project aimed to provide a novel perspective on the way we observe and re-value things, to disclose an undiscovered path for others to follow. It focuses on an exploration of a singular material, under-utilized wine corks. Small and often discarded, it is invaluable as a singular piece but amasses in potential as a collective.
