Fish Bowl: “The Game of Recyclable Fun”
Fish Bowl is a family board game. The recyclable, re-usable theme can be seen in the actual dynamics of how the game is played as well as in the game elements and packaging structure.
The idea behind how the game structure was created, was to ensure sustainable design principles throughout its development. As a decorative surface, packaging speaks to the passing consumer, whispering and sometimes screaming, “buy me.” The result can be seen on shelves loaded with bright paperboard boxes, shiny foils and lavish and colorful plastic bags. Visually exciting, surely, but what becomes of the beautiful box and the slick wrapper once it’s opened?
The following principles were employed in the creation of FISH BOWL:
* Eliminate excess or unnecessary material
* Be made as light as possible without sacrificing durability.
* Be made with nontoxic, renewable materials
* Be manufactured and transported using renewable energy.
* Be designed for intentional reuse.
* Be easily disassembled for appropriate disposal channels.
* Be compostable, or at least recyclable.
