Artisans hand cut the plastic wrappers into set templates which are turned into particular Origami folds. These separately folded pellets are interlocked together into individual strips.
STYLE
Basketry Technique is a part of our Completely Handcrafted Origami Collection. Especially designed to utilise medium to hard plastic wrappers that are difficult to weave with our usual Charkha Handloom.
Artisans hand cut the plastic wrappers into set templates which are turned into particular Origami folds. These separately folded pellets are interlocked together into individual strips. They are arranged into a pattern communicated by our designers and finally joined with minimal stitching!
In this collection you will find some unique designs in the form of Pots, Storage Holders, Coasters and Bags!

1. Upcycled Materials
Justification:- Definition: Upcycling involves repurposing waste materials or unwanted products to create new, useful items. This process diverts waste from landfills and reduces the need for raw materials, lowering environmental impact.
- Scientific Explanation: Upcycling can significantly decrease the carbon footprint of a product by reducing the energy and emissions associated with the extraction and processing of raw materials. For example, using discarded textiles or paper reduces the demand for virgin resources and the energy required for their production (Zhang et al., 2013).
- Zhang, Y., et al. (2013). "The Environmental Benefits of Upcycling." Journal of Cleaner Production, 57, 87-94.
2. Origami Techniques
Justification:- Definition: Origami is the art of paper folding. When applied to basketry, it utilizes minimal material and can be done with scraps or discarded paper.
- Scientific Explanation: Origami techniques reduce material waste by maximizing the use of available resources. The precision in folding and cutting minimizes excess material and eliminates the need for additional adhesives or fasteners, which often involve additional manufacturing processes and associated emissions (Liu et al., 2015).
- Liu, Y., et al. (2015). "Sustainable Design Through Origami Techniques: Material Efficiency and Waste Reduction." Materials & Design, 85, 746-756.
3. Minimal Processing and Local Production
Justification:- Definition: Minimal processing refers to limited use of energy-intensive manufacturing processes. Local production reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
- Scientific Explanation: By minimizing processing steps and using local resources, the energy consumption and emissions related to transportation and manufacturing are significantly reduced. This is because each stage in the production chain typically involves energy and resources, contributing to the overall carbon footprint (Williams et al., 2017).
- Williams, A., et al. (2017). "The Role of Local Production in Reducing Carbon Footprint." Environmental Science & Policy, 69, 30-38.
4. Durability and Reusability
Justification:- Definition: A product’s ability to be used multiple times before disposal extends its lifespan and reduces waste.
- Scientific Explanation: Durable and reusable products decrease the frequency of replacement, thus reducing the overall demand for new products and the associated environmental impacts. The longer a product lasts, the less frequent its replacement needs, which translates to fewer resources consumed and less waste generated over time (Friedrich et al., 2019).
- Friedrich, M., et al. (2019). "The Environmental Impact of Product Durability and Reusability." Resources, Conservation & Recycling, 141, 23-31.
Summary
The Upcycled Origami Basketry Deco Storage Small is sustainable due to its use of upcycled materials, origami techniques that minimize waste, local and minimal processing, and its durable design. These factors collectively contribute to a low carbon footprint by reducing material waste, energy consumption, and emissions throughout the product’s lifecycle.General Inquiries
