Research into cork

Looking into a possible material for my idea that is strong enough and sustainable. This would be better  than plastic, however the costs could be a lot. Maybe this could be a limited edition part of Lea & Perrins?

examples continued (book)

Sandi Chiavalon-This is a brand of high quality olive oil produced in Croatia. Encouraging re-use as it is packaged in a bag made of recycled paper.

Anando-tequila flavours.Minimises packaging and provides a second use. It is also my idea for Lea & Perrins. Slightly different but a long the right lines :)

The big book of green design

This is an example of Sustainable packaging for Arizona State University. The folder is recyclable and reusable. Made from recycled paper the user can reverse the folds and create their own design on the plain side.

M&C Saatchi Idea-good for recipe cards

Other Concepts

This could be a good concept, where the packaging could be used to store A4 size recipes which go inside with the bottle, each pack would have a different recipe for each batch? or could have a place to collect from to store inside the tube for cooking.

Early Mock-ups

These are my initial mock ups for Lea & Perrins. Obviously this is in the very early stages. I was hoping for the box to represent maybe a reusable container that would stick to the wall of your kitchen and dispense liquid, just like in bars for the measurement of alcohol. A similar thing could be done with cooking maybe.

CAT pictures!

cable cars run on water, pulling each other up and down. as one goes up the other goes down.

Liking these little ad ons for lids :D

Possible solution for Lea & Perrins?

Heinz

They're definitely already trying very hard to have sustainable products. With their bottles being made from plant material instead of fossil fuels which are very much unsustainable.

a good material?

http://www.bridgestone.com/corporate/news/2012030801.html

Bridgestone has launched a new project on sustainable rubber, using Guayule shrub instead of the Hevea tree as another and maybe better source.
(maybe a possible material for bottles?)

CAT visit 2012

This is the view from the cable carts that went up to the centre, overall felt the trip was interesting, a very long journey though!

Thoughts and Feedback task:

Before visiting CAT I had not heard of it before. I thought that the 3 most notable points about the CAT lecture were its helpful links to great eco books, the simplicity of Anita Sancha's videos explaining what is happening to our planet and how we can change it and making us aware of advertisements that claim they are eco but show something else; like Patagonia and Howies.

I felt that the three most notable points about CAT itself were its innovative sustainable design. Examples of this include a chair back made from pennies which was in the entrance of the gift shop. Secondly the cork building which would insulate a building very well. Last of all the ability to grow a range of plants that can be used in cooking and keeping the environment healthy such as brussel sprouts.

Ideas that I may bring forward are looking into the books and information available about the eco centre. I feel this would help with research and maybe give me more to work with.

Disgraceful.....

- Arsenal took a plane ride from Luton to Norwich, instead of driving!... pointless waste of a plane

Carbon footprint- doesn't look good!

My carbon footprint comes out to be 2.6 planets, am I being penalised for living away from uni?! haha

Annie Leonards 'story of stuff'

Summary: Annie Leonard attempts to campaign on how we use our resources today. She explains that recycling is good, but just not good enough any more to tackle the problems we have today. This includes consumption, waste, corporations and natural resources.

Recycled shoe packaging

Example- aldo now give shoe boxes as bags so there is no bag and just a box with a handle. Bought myself a pair in NYC :D

Same idea I had I found!

"The PureProject line is a dramatic departure for Brooks Running. As such, it required an equally dramatic unveiling. Fashioned from bamboo by Dave Laubenthal at DJL Studio, the kit embodies the sustainable ethos of the PureProject line. The laser-etched lid lifts off to reveal 2 brochures and 4 raindrop-shaped canisters with branded caps. (Illustrator Jake Hollomon provided the graphic for the lid.)

The individual canisters may be removed and re-used in various ways. This kit is designed to be a keepsake, with no material going to waste.

Two brochures fit within: the product-centric booklet features exquisite photography from acclaimed fashion accessory photographer Kenji Toma. It's accompanied by a tongue-in-cheek instruction manual for creative upcycling of the kit. A quirky cast of characters, illustrated by Tyler Marchus, demonstrates various ways to re-use the elements."
