WAY.CUPS
(formerly Leder Scoops)
Biodegradable and edible utensils made out of industrial food leftovers
Way.Cups is a project that combines my 3 most favorite worlds - design, environment and food.
It is a series of edible biodegradable utensils made of juice factory's fruit leftovers.
The utensils are manufactured using food drying technologies, inspired by the ancient technique of making fruit leather. the goal was to bring the traditional technology and apply it on an industrial scale.
The material as well as the manufacturing process were designed to provide a platform for circular economy - using leftovers from one process to fuel and generate new ones in related industries - while saving raw materials and resources and making these processes more efficient and ecological.
The utensils are made for serving ice cream, providing solutions for two needs - replacing the existing utensils and reducing waste , while creating a new eating experience.
