Luf Seedling Trays

Luf

Luf is a seedling tray made from loofah fiber. Luf replaces plastic trays with a biodegradable material formed from crushed loofah, a bio-based adhesive and a curing agent, which are heated and pressed in a mould. The trays stack together, so one person can carry more than five trays at a time. Each tray is divided into three independent parts and can be cut along marked lines. After the seedlings mature, the tray is planted into the soil, where it breaks down into nutrients. Loofah seeds can be collected and used for further cultivation.

The growing demand for sustainability is driving growth in the refill market, yet many jars lack premium appeal and ease of use. Conventional designs rely on films or liners that are discarded after opening, reducing branding value and requiring two handed operation. A refill pod jar with a flip top lid enables effortless one handed access. The product can be dispensed directly from the top without removing the main cap, and the empty pod can be easily replaced. Tethered caps and fewer components support convenience, branding, compliance, and sustainability.

Playful Hut

The box unfolds on four sides for easier handling. The aim is to reduce material waste and extend the useful life of packaging.
