Winners of the fourth Cradle to Cradle Product Design Challenge

By Justine Testado|

Thursday, Jan 19, 2017

It's four for four. The Cradle to Cradle Product Design Challenge officially concluded its fourth round with the announcement of four winning designs earlier this week. In the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute's series of circular design challenges, the global design community is encouraged to envision innovative solutions for everyday products, but which also demonstrate Cradle to Cradle product design principles. 

A total of 162 designers from 19 countries took part in the fourth Product Design Challenge. Since the competition first launched, responses from designers continues to grow. According to Institute President Lewis Perkins, “It’s exciting to see a similar escalation in the number of entries we receive for the Challenge, as students and professionals alike use the competition as an open space to explore and experiment with Cradle to Cradle product design either in a conceptual or real-world way.”

Scroll down to check out the winning professional and student entries.

Best Professional Project: “Eco-Luggage” by Taina Campos and Jeremy Godol of Frame Design Studio

Project summary: “Eco-Luggage rethinks the way we carry during travel or displacement, with easily detachable, multi-use components. Designers Taina Campos and Jeremy Godol of Frame Design Studio, put design for disassembly at the core of their approach to Eco-Luggage. Because it can be easily disassembled, individual parts can be repaired or replaced as needed - and at the end of use, they can be cycled as biological and technical nutrients.

Best Student Project: REX by Mallory Barrett from North Carolina State University

Project summary: “Mallory Barrett, student at North Carolina State University, envisions an innovative solution to medical packaging waste. In the United States alone, an estimated 4 billion prescriptions are filled, and many curbside recycling programs do not accept pill bottles. REX offers reusable, stainless steel medicine containers that do not require adhesive labels, in a circular business model that eliminates the need for the constant reproduction of currently used plastic bottles.”

Best Use of Aluminum: “SolarCasting” by Bert Green, Allison Warth, Andrew Fabian and Ashleigh Otto of Solarmill

Project summary: “SolarCasting offers an innovative take on reclaiming and recycling aluminum. Using a solar furnace built from reclaimed parts, SolarCasting uses concentrated sunlight to melt a crucible of reclaimed aluminum which can then be poured into a variety of molds to produce mechanical or aesthetic objects. By combining the one hundred percent carbon-free foundry with lead-free aluminum, SolarCasting creates an unbreakable chain of material reclamation without the need for fossil fuels.”

Best Use of Fusion 360: “Leave No Trace Leaf Knife” by Ari Elefterin and Matt Callahan of Parson School of Design, The New School

Project summary: “The Leaf Knife [is] the first product of Leave No Trace, a camping gear company for the circular economy. The duo developed an accompanying Leave No Trace service system that offers uses options for product care and equipment while keeping all technical materials moving through a perpetual cycle of use and reuse. The Leaf Knife’s design represents an effective blend of sculpting, parametric modeling and assembly joints using Autodesk Fusion 360.”
