Environmentally Friendly


I want one of these! Multi-functional seat / storage box by Australian design studio Zaishu. I thought this one was worth throwing into the mix because of how 'little' packaging is used for this Japanese inspired furniture item. And it's just so damn environmentally friendly. Rock on!

Hand printed, uses timber from renewable forests, light, easy to piece together and delivered flat packed in a reusable non-bleached calico bag sewn by women at a local disability workshop. Delivers a very powerful and beautiful message throughout.




University of the Arts grad student, Andrew Millar, designed biodegradable packaging for McDonald's from grass paper, which has naturally grease-resistant properties and clever internal folds to keep food separated. This clever school assignment should definitely be passed by the big chiefs at McD's.
