introduction

The project consists of bringing more visibility to vegetables
organic products sold at points of sale in Rio de Janeiro. These foods that you use in your
Most oil-based packaging is for daily use due to its practicality and price.
This excessive use generates a great socio-environmental impact, since the
The decomposition time for these materials is enormous for a single use and ends up being discarded immediately. In addition, these materials eliminate toxins in food
harmful to health.

Our mission is to bring a new way of packaging these foods with an unprecedented material. AND
propose a new way of exposing them at points of sale. Bringing a bit of nature to these places.

THEQuinta da Coelhada,is located near the city center of Teresópolis, it is dedicated only toorganic production. Organic production is concerned not only with health, but with the entire social issue behind it. The entire process is done on site, from production, packaging and delivery to points of sale;

developmentof material

We extract dry leaves, bamboo, coconuts from the indaiá tree, leaves from the banana tree, as well as its stem.

With the collected materials, we carried out the first initial tests. For the extraction of fibers, we noticed an ease and greater use using the stem of the banana tree. To do this, we chop up pieces of the stem using a knife, and then insert them into a processor, adding water. The next step was to find out which glutamine we could use
so that there was a bond in our material. Initially, tests were carried out with vegetables, such as beet and cabbage, corn flour and cassava flour. With each glutamine we obtained different results. Using vegetables together with fiber, even using studies, our tests resulted in mold, completely ruling out the possibility of working only with these mixtures.
