June 2022 | Cha, is a sustainable bio-degradable composite developed for reusing biodegradable waste to convert it into an eco-friendly material for daily use applications. Cha mainly uses dried used tea leaves (biodegradable waste) with the addition of natural resin, polyester, and binders to create a solid and durable material. In the project, some products were manufactured using compression moulding and with specific modifications can also be used in the injection moulding process to create daily use items. The proposed material has shown significant potential in the aspects of
strength and biodegradation. We also developed a unique brand called 'Cha' and some potential products using compression moulding to highlight the potential of the novel material. The project won the IF Design Talent Award in 2022 and was done as part of the Master's thesis project by Mr Achyut Shanbhag under the supervision of Dr Pankaj Upadhyay. |
