360 Paper Bottle Redefines The Plastic Bottle

The curse of the ubiquitous plastic water bottle is in the news almost daily in form or another. One company, Brandimage, has come up with a paper bottle solution that could solve this problem and make the plastic bottle obsolete.

The 360 Paper Bottle is a feat of sustainable industrial design. The eco-friendly bottle is made of completely renewable resources and is entirely recyclable at the end of its lifecycle.

According to the Brandimage site, the bottle's renewable shell comes from sheet stock of bamboo and palm leaves, among other things. The sustainable material is pressed into the right shape and encased in an extremely thin layer of recyclable PLA. Made of food-safe ingredients, the sustainable paper bottle can hold any kind of liquid.

The actual design of the paper bottle is as well thought out as the materials used. For instance, the paper bottle is easily opened and then ingeniously resealed using part of the top. The sustainable bottles are also designed to be bundled together, completely eliminating the need for additional plastic packaging for multi-packs. Instead, the 360 Paper Bottles are held together with a "natural structural board."

Brandimage's new paper water bottle was created in an effort to reduce the 60 million plastic water bottles that are thrown out everyday. And even if the innovative bottle design isn't adopted for mainstream production, I can't imagine that it will be long before some lucky brand starts to really make a difference with this sustainable bottle.

Why would only humans make use of eco-friendly technology? Studio OOOMS designed a birdhouse with a solar panel on it’s roof. During the day sunlight feeds the solar panel , charging a small battery inside. At twilight the transparent stick will light up and cast a tiny light on your garden.
This light attracts an easy nighttime snack for the bird; all she has to do is stick her beak out of the hole and wait for the buzz.

Jessie Willow Tucker 'Drawings'

‘Drawings’, a solo exhibition by Jessie Willow Tucker.

Jessie Willow Tucker, known for her Melbourne made lingerie label, ‘jessie tucker’, will be exhibiting a series of portraits, which tell the sordid and colourful story of members of the extended ‘Tea’ family.

Jessie’s underwear ranges have drawn inspiration from adventure stories about the Wholesome Vamp. She has now taken her interest in story telling to paper and created a whole family tree of eccentric characters, including Earl Grey, Dr Darjeeling and Jasmine.

The work has been made using water colour, pen and pencil on paper.
Each drawing is highly detailed and rich with colours, layers and symbols which are both dark and humorous.

Jessie grew up in Canberra but relocated to Melbourne where she has lived for the past 11 years. She completed a Bachelor of Fine Art majoring in painting at RMIT, and a Post Graduate Diploma in Theatre Design at the Victorian College of the Arts. She went on to work as a costume designer, contributing to productions in Australia and Singapore, and won a Green Room Award for her work. She designed and directed a costume based performance/installation piece, ‘Fashion Sound House’ as part of the 2004 Next Wave Festival. Jessie’s eponymous underwear label has been stocked in boutiques around Australia.

Jessie Willow Tucker’s ‘Drawings’ will be on show upstairs at Brunswick Bound, 361 Sydney Road Brunswick. The exhibition will open with an afternoon tea party from 2-4pm on Saturday the 21st March and runs until the 12th of April.
