Designer / Brand: Rieke LLC Work: Refill Pod Jar Tag: Sustainable Product

Trimas

The growing demand for sustainability is driving growth in the refill market, yet many jars lack premium appeal and ease of use. Conventional designs rely on films or liners that are discarded after opening, reducing branding value and requiring two handed operation. A refill pod jar with a flip top lid enables effortless one handed access. The product can be dispensed directly from the top without removing the main cap, and the empty pod can be easily replaced. Tethered caps and fewer components support convenience, branding, compliance, and sustainability.

This collectively improves the quality of this shared water ecosystem whilst promoting the growth of native plants, insects and birds.

Designer / Brand: Hi Jac Work: Dog Leash Tag: Sustainable Product

Walk Me

The handle is smooth yet rigid; its contours create an ergonomic, snug grip for the human hand but can also comfortably wrap around a human's wrist or arm. As the handle is rigid, it will not contract, so any tension from a dog pulling will not squish the human's hand (which is a design flaw in the conventional loop handle dog leashes). The distinctive handle pattern (splats, splotches and swirls of colour) are individual to each handle as they form uniquely from the hands-on moulding and baking process. The handle and rope are made from 100 percent post-consumer plastic.
