return by catarina ribeiro from portugal

Rice seems to be one of Korea’s most important good, by representing the main agricultural production and by being the most widely consumed basic foodstuff in this country.
That´s why i’ve choose rice as my product’s raw material. Extracted rice strach is on the origin of a biodegradable polymer wich will be slowly decomposed though time.
We start by filling the biodegradable vase with both land and plant. As time goes by the polymer mixed with land becomes an important part of plant nutrition and start a recycling vase consumption. When the frist vase is consumed a second one will take it´s place and this phenomenon occures sucessively until the fifth vase.
The main idea is to use a raw material wich is extrated in the country where RETURN is being producted. It will save resources like transport and logistics. At the same time, the fit system also reduces the packaging.
RETURN completes the entire life cycle - it comes from land and there it returns.
