Alma - From Food Waste to Ephemeral Toy by Lucía Valverde

This project was an exploration of the possibility of using food waste as raw material, since materials have the bigger carbon print in a product’s life.

It is also a reflection on toys and the materials they are made of. We are children for a limited amount of time, so why should our toys outlive this period?

The final outcome is Alma, a biodegradable toy with seeds inside, so that when it biodegrades, a new life begins.

This project was a cross collaboration between Lucía Valverde, from Design for Planet, and Miguel Felipe García, from Design for Play.
