Fookis - Biomaterials Toy Set
Biomaterial product design based on food waste
This project utilizes food by-products, including shrimp shells, eggshells, and fruit peels, as eco-friendly biomaterials. It explores their potential as sustainable alternatives to industrial plastics and reveals how a more creative approach to waste can contribute to a sustainable lifestyle. These educational toys, made from 100% biodegradable materials, are designed for children aged 3 to 6.
Fookis transforms food waste into durable, biodegradable toys, making sustainability a hands-on experience for kids. By combining responsible production with education and play, it fosters environmental awareness while delivering a fun learning experience. A multifaceted and highly meaningful design.
