STOP Plastic Waste
This is my project, when you look at it you may have a lot of questions about how dose it work but I think it will really help to stop plastic waste. This is a wax bowl with a circle in top. It is made to put grapes there instead of putting them in a plastic bag which could harm the environment. Then when you put the grapes in the wax bowl when you grab one you can only flip the bowl and the grapes will start to fall down one at a time. This is helping to stop the plastic waste because instead of throwing the plastic bag to the trash you could put the grapes there and also supermarkets could sell this bowl with grapes inside which the material Is non harmful, it can be reused because you can put more grapes inside, and also people could want to buy it because it is eco friendly. When you buy this you will not feel guilty because you are hurting the environment, you will not hurt the environment, and it is a good material to use.
Steps That I Did Before Making the Product
First I made some questions and ask my parents and other people questions and they responded me. After that I made posits of ideas of products that I could do which match my drivers and constraints. Then I created it in a 3d design in a website and then I made it in real life
