Equipment Function OverviewI conceptualized a household-scale machine designed to transform fruit and vegetable waste into usable bioplastic materials. This concept serves as the bridge between research and practical application—enabling users to directly participate in material regeneration within their daily living environment.

The machine integrates multiple functions—grinding, drying, and molding—into one compact system. Users can simply insert fruit or vegetable peels into the input chamber, where the material is first ground into fine pulp using a built-in shredder. The pulp then passes into a controlled drying module. Finally, the dried mixture is transferred to an interchangeable molding unit, where it can be pressed or cast into various shapes such as thin films, containers, or packaging sheets.

To ensure user accessibility, the design emphasizes simplicity and transparency. Each stage of the process is visible through the exterior casing, allowing users to observe the transformation from waste to material.

SummaryAlthough the current design remains conceptual, its purpose is to demonstrate how waste management and material production can be integrated into everyday domestic life. By redefining the kitchen as a micro-scale manufacturing site, the project envisions a future where individuals actively participate in circular material systems—turning household waste into sustainable resources through design.
