The Baget
Melbourne based clothing designer and retailer’s Obus are inundated with unsolicited LDPE bags that wrap every individual imported item BUT Obus also solicits the purchase of new LDPE postage bags. This is a process to turn this waste into high-value postage bags to service their online retail business.
Waste lies in the usefulness of the form. Once the usefulness of a product has been exhausted, it’s value is often downgraded to the material cost. If we could capture the product at the end of its usefulness cycle, we could halt this devaluation by altering its form and instate a new purpose.
Simply grab an unused LDPE bag, wrap it around the 2D mould and feed it into the Baget. Depending on the size of the mould this process might take up to 60 seconds in which an employee can continue with their fulfilment obligations.
It really is as simple as it sounds.
