Packzero

PackZero is a reusable packaging system for online retail delivery. The inflatable package protects products during shipping and deflates automatically when opened. The package is made of durable biodegradable material that research estimates can be used up to 100 times. Three package sizes are offered. Users return each package to a collection bin placed in subway stations, campuses, offices and other public spaces, where a pedal and a roller flatten and compress the package for transport. Central hubs are set in places people visit often, which reduces total delivery distance.

UnLimited

UnLimited is a recyclable backpack designed for urban cyclists. The backpack is fully waterproof and adjustable in size. A concertina structure allows the bag to expand for unexpected items and to compress into a slim shape that improves mobility. UnLimited is made of one material, a recyclable thermoplastic elastomer with different levels of hardness, and is sealed by heat welding. Most backpacks combine several materials and are hard to recycle. The single material construction supports reuse and recycling at the end of the service life.

Tiny threads of carbon fibres tie the massive blocks together to give them their stability. They also reinforce the blocks to even add strength to the wood planks.

Future is Now

Future is Now is an event space in Taipei created to share ideas about sustainable living and the circular economy. The interior uses second-hand wooden pallets, cleaned and sanded for safety, as vertical planters by the windows and as movable modular seating. A large ceiling installation is made from recycled film taken from an LED screen. Construction followed a low-landfill approach, and most waste was sorted for recycling. All elements are reused or recycled after the program. The space measures 11.2 by 16 meters, with a ceiling height of 3 meters.

Bionic Photosynthetic

Bionic Photosynthetic is a curtain wall that performs artificial photosynthesis. The design imitates the roots, stems, veins and leaf tissue of plants. The veins that carry water are 3D printed inside the frame. These channels supply water for photosynthesis and remove the liquid produced afterwards. The frame holds three layers: a tempered glass cover, a middle cell frame and a lower plate. Artificial cells in the middle layer hold chloroplasts inside bio-membranes. Sunlight and carbon dioxide enter the cells, and oxygen is released to the air.
