DESIGN NAME: Creator Z-01
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Discoloration Cling Films
INSPIRATION: By adding this time-reminding function, we can give the user a clear indication of the degree of food preservation so as to reduce food waste. Reducing food waste and helping people enjoy food when it is at its most fresh is the greatest benefit of this design. Of course, it is also more beneficial for the user themselves, helping them to reduce unnecessary waste and reduce the probability of eating bad food.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Unlike ordinary cling films, this new cling film has a little green tree printed on it. The moment you put packaged food into the refrigerator, it starts monitoring time. This little green tree is made of special environment-friendly coating, which slowly changes colour when it comes into contact with the air and moisture in the refrigerator. The colour changes from green to yellow within 1 to 5 days.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Step 1: Tear off the packaging seal
Step 2: Pull out the cling film
Step 3: Use the enclosed cutting knife to cut off the film
Step 4: Pack the food and put it into the refrigerator
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in September 2017 in Xiamen and finished in November 2017 in Xiamen.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This little green tree is made of special environment-friendly coating, which slowly changes colour when it comes into contact with the air and moisture in the refrigerator. The colour changes from green to yellow within 1 to 5 days. This way, it can be judged how long the food has stayed in the refrigerator. It is a simple but effective method.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: People often forget how long food has been placed in the refrigerator, especially older people or children, who are more prone to forget. So, not only can this design remind everyone that food stored for a long time must be consumed as soon as possible, but it can also help people to avoid eating food whose use-by date or period in which consumption is safe has expired.
CHALLENGE: It is more beneficial for the user themselves, helping them to reduce unnecessary waste and reduce the probability of eating bad food.
