Reinvente: projeto de embalagem feito de bagaço de cana de açúcar e resina à base de lignina

Abstract

People’s way of consumption over the years has had a great environmental impact due to the inadequate use of fossil fuels and the use of non-renewable energies. In the search for sustainable development, an evident alternative is the development of composites that have products of plant origin in their composition. This work discusses the use of sugarcane bagasse with lignin resin in a composite, applied in a new solution to packaging design bringing sustainable innovation. The composite obtained proved to be a light weight, resistant material, with a satisfactory texture and appearance. A brainstorming of the application of the composite was carried out and it was decided to apply it in a perfume package that also serves as a trinket box. The product, called Reinvent, has a rustic look, practicality, versatility and easy handling. A form search was carried out with possible users to validate the prototype and consider future changes. Thus, it was observed that the composite is a great alternative material to be used in the making of Design projects.
