Leftover Packaging




Clara Lindsten's interesting project on which is regarded as useless, to see it's potential and to turn it into something useful. The first step was to explore the magnitude of waste production. The leftovers are often clean and repetitive with as high quality as the manufactured products. They have been categorized and looked upon as materials,serving as a basis for an experimental design process.

Production of IV-bags generate inflatable cut-offs. The only addition that is needed for the leftovers to function as packaging for liquid, is one weld on the top and one weld on the bottom as well as a print explaining the content. Schampo, conditioner and soap are made to give showering a touch of selfmedication. The bags can be used as refill or as they are, hanging in the shower. The content stays in the package when it is open, due to surface tension.
