Sustainable Composite Material

Plastic pollution is one of the greatest problems faced by humanity and other life forms on our planet today. Cha is a sustainable biodegradable composite that converts waste into an eco-friendly material for daily use. A mixture of dried tea leaves and natural binders under a set temperature gives a uniform thermoplastic composite to mold into any desired product. With mechanical, thermal, and biodegradable merits compared to conventional plastics, Cha follows the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle concept of waste management.

JURY STATEMENT

Sustainable biodegradable composites are materials of the future with the potential to solve one of the great environmental problems of our age: plastic pollution. This composite is made using dried tea leaves.
