Two particularly fascinating examples were recently honored as part of the Adream ideas\u2019 competition in Weimer, which focuses on sustainability in design and architecture. As the name suggests, Animal Coffin is a compostable burial case for animals that is made of a mix of starch, flour, cardboard, coffee grounds, vinegar and sufficiently stable hair. An additional feature that proves rather pleasant given the products somewhat morbid purpose: The designers have placed seeds into the lid such that it also gives new life in the form of a plant or tree as the coffin decomposes.<\/p>\n

First prize in the competition was awarded to the Encaf\u00e9 design by designer Sanam Viseux. His flower pots are predominantly made using coffee grounds, which are held in shape using natural wax. As the pot begins to decompose in the soil, the coffee powder releases nutrients such as phosphorous, nitrogen and calcium into the soil, protecting the plant\u2019s roots from attack by nematodes.[\/vc_column_text][uncode_share layout=”multiple” bigger=”yes” no_back=”yes”][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]image: Animal Coffin (source: Louise Knoppert, Flore de Maillard, Amanda \u00d6sterlin La Mont, Christian Frank M\u00fcller)[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”7″ mobile_width=”0″ css_animation=”bottom-t-top” sticky=”yes” width=”5\/12″][vc_separator sep_color=”color-458992″ el_height=”3px”][uncode_block id=”100″ inside_column=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
