Second task is:
You have to design packaging for rice. The packaging has to be different from what is out there in the market. Apply each one of the SCAMPER techniques and do a write‑up on your findings. Then choose the option that you think would work best and do a sketch of what the packaging would look like.
- Substitute – Use something organic instead of plastic or regular cardboard.
- Combine – A measuring cup in the lid so you know how much one portion is.
- Adapt – Make it look organic by having a 100% organic packaging.
- Modify – Use a completely different shape than usually.
- Put to other uses – When its empty you could either use it as a decoration or something else so it’s not just ending up as waste.
- Eliminate – Remove plastic bags that’s inside of the packaging.
- Reverse or rearrange – If the packaging is made of rice chaff you can use it will be a great additional to you compost.
I like the idea to make the packaging off 100% rice chaff so you can use it in you compost afterward, or if you have different animals that eat hay you can just give it to them. I also would like to see some different looks on the packaging, not just the rectangular boxer or the bags. So I created a hexagon shaped box that is made of chaff, the lid is a measurement cup so you know the right amount of rice you need. There is also a small recycled plastic hexagon in the front so you can see how the rice looks like.
