2. Eco-Friendly Ice Cream Packaging
MES Meishi and 21cake launched “Gelato 10” made with the real gelato process. The spoon is made from natural green bamboo. It helps stop the ice cream from slipping. The box is made from sugarcane fiber (plant fiber). It feels soft, is easy to carry, and you can reuse it as a small storage box.
3. Eco-Friendly Strawberry Gift Boxes
The Yuzishan Strawberry Ecological Gift Box was designed by the Power Station of Art and the Yuzishan Strawberry Curatorial Experimental Center. It is fully biodegradable and recyclable. The box uses materials like old cardboard boxes, paper tubes, wood pulp, and sugarcane pulp residue.
Normal plastic wraps such as LDPE can take about 50 years to break down. Here, each strawberry is wrapped in corn-fiber paper (PLA), which takes about 1/50 of that time. To reduce extra paper, the designer made five stamps. They are hand-printed inside and outside the box and replace extra instruction sheets.
