Look beyond the appearance of fruit peels to see their potential and how they can be transformed into a new material for new Design Products. Krill Design Client AutoGrill who run restaurants on the Italian Motorway Network, use 28 million oranges per year. They can become so much more than juice... Watch the video above.
Krill Design created a new biopolymer from Orange Peel. Then, new products were designed and 3D printed with the new biopolymer and used in the AutoGrill stores with an aim to save 85 tonnes of CO2.
A step towards a better future where
bio-materials can replace plastic.

"I'm always of the lookout for great examples of companies who are closing the loop. KRILL Design shows that circularity does not mean compromising on quality. Who'd have thought lime peel could look so slick?"
