Straw Pack

Organisation: University of Hingrik and Kookmin in Korea
Students at the University of Hingrik and Kookmin in Korea found a solution for reducing the use of packaging material for small beverage cartons.
The regular packaging comes with a small straw which is glued on the carrton. With the Straw Pack, this is no longer the case. The straw and the beverage carton are made out of the same piece of material.
The straw appears when the yellow part (see picture below) is pulled off. Once you push the sides of the packaging, the straw is formed and you can start drinking.
With this packaging the students won the If Student Design Award in 2015 for discipline Packaging. Yet, the packaging is seen not on the market.
