Long description

The project is related to innovating through transforming thousands of tonnes of empty beverage cartons that increases each year in Mexico, into a material we can re-use in many ways. The combination of a polymer, aluminium and cellulose takes many years to biodegrade. As a result, we can assume the fact that it is a durable material. Waterproof, lightness, stiffness and hard to scratch are properties that the material itself can provide in a very well structured shape. Wood is one of the most globally abundant materials in design, so with this proposal designed, a daily tools collection concept using polialuminium as a substitute material for wood or plastics. This post-consumer material which has been collected, grinded, melted down and pressed to various thicknesses, can be adapted into two-dimensional and three-dimentional surfaces. It can be blended also with wood to reduce the total amount of new raw material usage like with the laptop holder a ratio of 80/20 was set up. Proposed in circular production, thinking in modular pieces to upgrade its renewable properties once the product become obsolete. Flaked is rising a new value of the beverage carton into Society throw durable or returnable daily products. Based on two Sustainable Development Goals. The first one is aimed at generating industry support by a good infrastructure. The second goal is to improve the responsible consumption and production.
