Cliffset. A Case for Clean Eating by Cameron Drake

The portable, personal cutlery set that comes with its own cleaning tool.

Eating with flimsy, disposable plastic cutlery isn’t much fun for you—or the planet. In fact, plastic utensils are some of the most common bits of trash littering the world’s beaches, and among the biggest threats to the delicate ecosystems found in oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams.

And while Cliffset isn’t the only eco-friendly cutlery out there, just try getting dried-up guacamole off your bamboo fork without access to water, soap, and a brush.

Cliffset is different. It fits your on-the-go lifestyle with anywhere-clean eating in a compact yet durable case.

The cleaning tool doubles as a sprayer to be refilled with your favorite no-rinse cleaning solutions. We love using pure lemon extract, a food-safe, no-rinse solution that’s perfect for on-the-go cleaning. It’s ingredients: alcohol, water, and lemon oil- that’s it. 

Made from food-grade 18/8 stainless steel with powder-coated handles, Cliffset can stand up to anything from dishwashers to petrified hummus. Durable. Sustainable. Portable. And exceptionally tasteful.

In case you forget to “Scrape - Spray - Sparkle,” Cliffset utensils are dishwasher-safe. You can even throw the case in the washing machine with your laundry.

Deliver The Circular Economy To Takeout by Studio PriestmanGoode

https://thedieline.com/blog/2020/8/13/priestmangoodes-zero-wants-to-deliver-the-circular-economy-to-takeout?Studio PriestmanGoode is looking to create a more sustainable packaging method for takeout and delivered meals with a reusable concept that also makes use of eco-friendly materials made from agricultural waste like discarded cocoa bean shells. The takeout system is called Zero and found inspiration in Japanese bento boxes and Indian tiffin, consisting of durable food containers that can get stacked on top of each other, requiring a single lid for multiple dishes which fit into a carrier bag. Everything can get washed and reused, and PriestmanGoode envisions having the Zero in a network of restaurants and takeaways while providing an incentive for customers to return the packaging, such as a discount on future orders.

Lison range by LAFUMA & BLEU DE CHAUFFE

When a furniture maker meets artisan leathersmith… LISON is the result of an authentic collaboration between two great French firms.

Driven by a shared passion for useful and long-lasting design, guided by their strongly-held environmental and social convictions, it was only logical that LAFUMA MOBILIER and BLEU DE CHAUFFE should come together on a shared project. LISON is the proof! Natural vegetable-tanned leather, matte-finish high-strength steel: a collection 100% made in France.

This capsule collection takes a fresh look at the very first series of metal and cotton canvas seating that LAFUMA MOBILIER created in 1954. Simple and practical, LAFUMA folding furniture quickly became the companion of choice for weekend trips and holidays, before finding its way onto balconies and into other small urban spaces. LISON gets its timeless style from LAFUMA MOBILIER’s Bauhaus influence and the workwear spirit of BLEU DE CHAUFFE A collection which is 100% French, functional, and sustainable.

First Paper Bottle Design Concept by Coca-Cola

In the fight against plastic waste, companies are prototyping paper bottle packaging that's lightweight and waste-reducing and Coca-Cola is introducing a paper bottle design of its own. As part of a plan to reduce its carbon footprint, Coca-Cola is collaborating with Paboco to introduce a concept with a paper shell, a plastic liner and a closure. Ultimately, the collaborators are working towards creating an eco-friendly packaging solution that can be "recycled like any paper."

While the inclusion of a plastic liner is still necessary at this stage to keep the paper protected from the liquid contents of the bottle, the partners are exploring ways for this component to be replaced with an even more eco-friendly material to further reduce plastic waste.

Summer inflatables by HEMA

If Dutch retailer HEMA is famous for it’s essential and recognizable design, this range of summer inflatables couldn’t be more on brand. With it's neutral approach it sure kisses the holy grail of stripped down design HEMA is well known for. The magic however is in the contagious big idea of presenting a range of summer products looking like they have been dropped into mini swimming pool packagings. Even a steel swimming pool step which leads into the pool is included on the front and proves that god is in the details. The result is spot on and couldn’t have been more refreshing, happy, summery and inviting to take a plunge. All toys have been designed exclusively inside HEMA and represent the retailers most famous icons like HEMA’s smoked sausage, Takkie the Dog, tompouce pastry and summer icecreams.

HEMA’s overall ambition is to stop putting plastic products into plastic packaging. For that reason carton boxes were being chosen to package and protect the products inside. The change in packaging material led to the idea of presenting the boxes as mini swimming pools and deliver a packaging range full of fun, clarity and summer momentum instore. For HEMA the quirky and bold design approach is a good example of how to bring design impact and emotion inside this philosophy.

Electric bamboo food steamer by Qverta

To maintain healthy habits during quarantine, steaming food is one of the healthiest methods of cooking. But what is the advantage of using the Bamboo Food Steamer? First off, bamboo steamers have been a staple in Chinese cuisine for over 5,000 years. They consist of stackable layers with slatted bottoms, making it possible to cook multiple items simultaneously. The bamboo also absorbs excess steam, which keeps vegetables from becoming too soggy. As a bonus: the Bamboo Food Steamer promotes environmentally-friendly practices in addition to healthy eating because, unlike trees, bamboo stalks grow back after being cut and require minimal effort from their farmers.

The Bamboo Food Steamer takes these pros and adapts them into a modern cooking tool. Compared to traditional bamboo steamers, this product is cleaner, more portable, and easily accessible for consumers who are less familiar with Chinese culture and cooking techniques. The steamer seems very-user friendly, as it only has one control: a circular LED timer. Simply plug in the device, set your timer- no extra on/off switch needed. These small touches make the Bamboo Food Steamer the easiest purchase you could make in order to support healthy and environmentally-sustainable choices.

Kid’s bandage packaging by Aidey

Aidey is the portable one-handed bandage dispenser for minor injuries. Children are the target audience, and the package’s intention is soothing an injury’s nature of pain, using vibrant and pleasing colors with the visual form of a cute animal. Research into the behavior of household pets show that their use of licking is positive, from cleaning their offspring to showing affection and inspired by these reasons, Aidey dispenses bandages through an animal form, where it comes out of the mouth like a tongue. The dispenser works by stroking a strip at the top of the box, emulating a “petting” motion. This playful interaction further distracts the user from the injury they sustained. When the bandage comes out of the mouth, a sticker appears with a playful graphic; it also distracts but rewards the user, similar to being given a piece of candy after a dentist appointment to comfort the patient. Overall, Aidey is a package aiming to comfort through its soothing experience.
