Cresta Coffee grounds planters
作品簡述
在一顆咖啡豆中有99.8%會成為咖啡渣，而台灣每天則產生約30萬噸，大量的廢棄物大部分被送至垃圾掩埋場，產生的溫室氣體甲烷加劇地球暖化的影響。因此，透過回收再利用減少咖啡渣沒有經過處理與其他垃圾分解產生的負面影響。
CRESTA花盆以咖啡渣為主要材料製作，為了讓使用者更好照顧植物，結合毛細現象，使用可分解麻繩引水至花盆底部，讓植物根部更好吸收水分。
製作方式以上模具和下模具加壓模擬壓制成型，為了提高流動性混和較多水分導致凝固時間增加，進而製作出每盆獨一無二的紋理，不規則紋理也看似金屬物品生鏽。
咖啡渣花盆所使用的材料皆可生物分解，不使用時可將花盆放進土壤中分解或做為移植盆，並提供咖啡渣含有的氮、鎂、鉀養分，或是直接捏碎少量取用放在植物周圍作為肥料。
99.8% of a coffee bean is turned into coffee grounds, and Taiwan produces around 300,000 tonnes of this waste every day. Most of this waste is sent to landfills, producing greenhouse gas methane that contributes to the effects of global warming. Therefore, the negative effects of untreated coffee grounds and other waste decomposition are reduced by recycling.
The CRESTA planters are made from coffee grounds, and to allow the user to take better care of the plants, a decomposable twine is used to divert the water to the bottom of the pot, allowing the plant roots to absorb the water better.
The upper and lower molds are pressed to simulate the shape, to improve the flow, and mix with more water, which increases the setting time, thus creating a unique texture for each pot, and the irregular texture also looks like a rusted metal object.
The material used in coffee grounds planters is biodegradable and can be placed in the soil to decompose when not in use or used as a transplanting pot, providing the nitrogen, magnesium, and potassium nutrients contained in coffee grounds, or crumbled up in small quantities and placed around the plants as a fertilizer.
