In my independent research, I explored the relationship between form, function, and sustainable materials. Over a month and a half, I developed a flax-based bio-plastic for BioDog toys. Collaborating with industry professionals, I refined a formula that is dog-friendly and environmentally responsible. This durable and biodegradable bio-plastic was crucial in shaping the toys' form and function. This process highlighted innovation, functionality, and environmental consciousness, resulting in a product that enriches pets' lives and exemplifies responsible design for a greener future.
