Shellmine Kids

by YOHEI MURAI for Doshisha Women's College of Liberal Arts

Tableware set for infants and toddlers made from eggshell resin. Biomass resin is an ideal material with low environmental impact, but its use has not been widespread due to the high cost of raw materials. Especially in the resin tableware market, there is a strong tendency to choose inexpensive conventional resin products, and it is extremely difficult to win the price competition. Therefore, this product visualized the material using a chick as a motif. This allows people to understand the value of the material and choose it, and it also communicates environmental problems to children.
