A system designed to bring Sustainable Food practices into everyday habits. 'shelflife' represents a new and more sustainable approach to food in the domestic space. It brings together food storage ideas as informative tea towles, and creates a backbone structure where these storage solutions can be implemented.

Adappt is a business proposal comprised of an app and a website. It aims to empower the community to make more environmentally friendly choices by providing them with knowledge about repair, recycling, appropriate disposal and revival of products the individual may have which are destined for landfill. The app and website will allow you to search for and about said product and provide you with the information on who can recycle it and where, or how to get it repaired. The aim is for a more conscious individual, better able to make environmentally friendly decisions.
