WHEATSTAW FRIDGE BAG:Sustainable Materials Research

Study sustainable materials and their properties, applying to product design for sustainability

Wheat straw is a fast grow and abundant agricultural residue. There is a big potential of reusing and reclcycling wheat straws rather than field burning. Wheatstraw board is a good example of reuse wheat straw.

For this project, I exsplored other applications of reusing wheat straw...
