The packaging of flowers and wax
Based on the theory of circular economy, flowers were collected from temples, shops and homes post the Indian festival of Diwali and explored for potential as a material. Hotels have an abundance of single use plastic in the form of disposable miniature toiletries, more than 900 million of them end up in landfills. The decomposing of flowers has been taken advantage of and made into bioplastic composites and compressed into sheets with beeswax in order to sustainably make fully biodegradable disposable hotel room amenities and packaging.
