Del residuo al sabor
Renacimiento de los residuos de frutas
Fruit Waste Rebirth convierte frutas desechadas y cosméticamente imperfectas en una pasta comestible de base biológica que se puede imprimir en 3D para crear emplatados y decoraciones comestibles. Está dirigido a todos los interesados en la sostenibilidad alimentaria y en las presentaciones gastronómicas únicas. El proceso ofrece gran precisión y personalización para formas delicadas en la restauración. Es sostenible porque transforma los residuos alimentarios en un material reutilizable, logrando un ciclo de "de la comida, vuelta a la comida" mediante el reciclaje de materiales y procesos innovadores.

We are fourth-year students from the Department of Industrial Design at Tunghai University in Taiwan. As fruit lovers who frequently visit local markets, we noticed that many perfectly edible fruits are discarded simply because they are overripe, slightly bruised, or cosmetically imperfect. Despite still holding nutritional and practical value, these fruits often fail to meet sales standards and are treated as waste. Witnessing this unnecessary loss motivated us to explore ways to give these overlooked resources a second life, transforming them into meaningful design opportunities.
