Hasta La Ideas

So what exactly happened when HEINEKEN asked industrial designer and pioneer of rapid prototyping Janne Kytannen to take on a 48-Hour Innovation Challenge?

Well, a lot of interesting ideas concerning reuse, recycling and new materials. Check out the video and some of Janne’s ideas below:

Think Recycling! Create packaging from the competition using a simple sticker.

Think Materials! Bottles made from brewing dregs encourage consumers to help plant more vegetables, offering an interesting lifecycle opportunity!
