"To change our national economic story from one of financial speculation to one of future growth, we need a third industrial revolution: a green revolution. It will transform our economy as surely as the shift from iron to steel, from steam to oil. It will lead us toward a low-carbon future, with cleaner energy and greener growth. With an economy that is built to last - on more sustainable, more stable foundations"

Chris Huhne, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change (addressing the LSE, 2 November 2010)

Strength Test.

These are a few pictures that were taken when I gave the final packaging with product inside to friends to test the strength and durability. It was swung around, shaken and thrown. It successfully passed the tests.

Final Process.

Inspiring Quote

"If we are to immerse ourselves in the creative design process and become aware, through this immersion,  of the beauty and fragility of the world, then the fruits of our endeavours will reflect this."

Graphics.

These three images were edited and used in for the final graphical output. See below.

Second usage.

As said before because of the diverse nature of the packaging created it has been difficult to find a second usage/ something to deter it entering into the throwing away stage. It can be useful for a number of things:
- A Wine or Ale rack; two rows in one box with the ability to stack and store (the more boxes you have the better and bigger your Wine rack becomes. 

- A Vase; because of the tall nature of the box and three separate sections you can place flowers in it and use it as a vase. This would be for either dried or fake flowers as the cardboard and holes necessary for the box means that it cannot hold fresh flowers. (unless of course the bottom was sealed)

- A plant pot; this 100% biodegradable material means that you can plant your seeds inside the box creating a secure bed for the roots. This can be planted as a whole piece in your back garden and it will eventually turn to compost as the roots grow through it. It can be used as a windowsill pot. Sit it on you windowsill and watch your plant grow. Beans would be the most suitable to grow as the pots are lengthy.
