Abstract: The research explores the conceptualization, design, and market prospect for an expandable, eco-friendly, biodegradable, rice-husk spoon. Responding to mounting environmental degradation contributed by single-use plastic cutlery, the study seeks to come up with a sustainable replacement option that falls in line with customer demand for environment-friendly products. The project, as carried out under the brand label BLOOMWARE, attempts to bridge the gap between sustainability and user-friendly convenience by designing a product which is not just biodegradable but also expandable, being portable and functional.
The research utilizes both primary and secondary research approaches to source information regarding customer preferences, trends in the market, and competitors in the domain of biodegradable cutlery. Surveys, interviews, and observation data were collected to learn about the consumption patterns of environmentally responsible consumers, whereas industry analysis was undertaken to analyze the viability and scalability of the new product proposed. The study finds that consumer awareness and acceptability of green substitutes are on the increase, particularly in food and hospitality segments.
This study adds to the existing literature on sustainable product development and offers real-world implications for startups and industries looking to shift towards environmentally friendly practices. The expandable rice husk spoon is not only unique in its environmental advantage but also in its user-friendly design, which makes it a viable player in the biodegradable cutlery industry.
