In my opinion, designers are not taking the time to evaluate what happens to their product once it has been disposed of. This is a major issue that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. At the moment I am attempting to make a bowl from resin and Quinoa and then sanding it down to give a stone like quality. This will be the packaging for a new cereal. One big issue I was facing though was the fact that, if the bowl was the packaging, people were only going to by one. However, I then gave the bowl hidden properties that help heal people with mental health problems. I would have so much of this healing chemical released each time it was used, that say after ten or so uses it would become a normal bowl again. The customer would then have to by another one if they needed more treatment. Although, they would not be left with nothing. They would still have a lovely bowl to eat their cereal from in the morning.
