In the increasing attempts of industries trying to incorporate technology into their creative designs, Swedish design company Tomorrow Machine and research company Innventia may have created the most environmentally friendly set of plates and dishes ever.
Envisioning the different types of uses for cellulose that are taken from Swedish forests in year 2035, the prototype of the kitchenware was made. It showcased the new technology of a light yet strong, mold-able cellulose-based material that was developed by Innventia.
This set of kitchenware is made from a self-cleaning outer layer that never requires you to wash them. The kitchenware is made from cellulose, which allows you to never wash your plates or dishes ever again.
