Resume: Concept Design for a packaging of Tissues for PRO CARTON Awards
"What if tissue packets weren't plastic?"
Our society is grappling with a significant issue: plastic pollution. In response, we've delved into extensive research on packaging alternatives, aiming to minimize the traditional plastic options. After thorough investigation, we arrived at the concept of tissue packaging
We're embarking on the creation of numerous prototypes to determine the most ergonomic and transport-friendly option. Additionally, we're considering the logistics of large-scale transportation to ensure practicality and efficiency in our approach
We've prioritized the use of fittings in our design, completely eliminating the need for glue. As a result, our product is crafted entirely from cardboard, offering both reusability and recyclability, paving the way for sustainable production and the creation of new pieces
There is still the challenge of making it optimized for transport, but reuse, recycling and plastic reduction have been achieved. Easy to refill and it's so fun to open that you'll be excited when someone asks for it.
