Collaborative product design

The Eco+Grande pot is a SelfEco product made out of PLA. This product is compostable*, contains powerful protein-rich nutrients, and can hold up in the automated planting process that growers/nurseries use. This pot is made from plants instead of plastic. SelfEco Garden’s materials are sustainable, compostable and soften the environmental impact on Earth.

The challenge we had as a group was to differentiate the PLA pot from the plastic one so that the end-user prefers the sustainable option instead of the petroleum-based product (both distributed by Proven Winners).
At first glance, the label is similar so we knew this was our number one design priority. The label, printed with soy-based inks, is the only material that the consumer takes with them when purchasing the ornamental plant home. It is a great opportunity for the customer to know more about the product, the brand, and how it is used.

I also created an infographic proposal for retail stores.
