Plastic-based flowerpots are usually no longer needed after purchase. Most pots are neither biodegradable nor easily recyclable. For this reason, the group decided to create biodegradable, modern-looking alternatives to traditional flowerpots and to test their durability, strength, and biodegradability through a series of experiments.

Philip Rattacher focuses on the target-group-specific conception and design of the pots. This includes form, size, and design variations tailored to different audiences, as well as the project’s corporate design and website.
Isra Ben Mohamed is responsible for the production of the pots. The production process involves testing different material compositions in order to make the flowerpot prototype as stable and biodegradable as possible.
Egon Sakac is in charge of testing the designed pots. During this process, various experiments are carried out to assess the durability, strength, and biodegradability of the different pot prototypes.

The aim of this project is to produce a range of modern-looking, self-dissolving pots made from household materials. Through this innovation, plastic pots can be replaced, thereby reducing waste.
