Abstract:
The project title is "Le Vai Chaunsa", a designed packaging for mangoes.
Mango is a major fruit crop of Pakistan, which is representation of Pakistan in the
world and holds a cultural value within the country. But during the post-harvest
cycle of mango there is no provision of appropriate packaging to protect the fruit
from damage in different conditions. The main concept is to provide mangoes a
durable packaging which is designed to maintain the organoleptic qualities of
mango and protect them from multiple external conditions.
The proposed solution would reduce the damage caused to mangoes due to
mishandling, lack of packaging or unavailability of designed packaging during
post-harvest cycle from farms to the shelves. The proposed solution intends to
increase the shelf life of mangoes and maintain the quality fresh.
Furthermore, the packaging is proposed a circular economy and reusable
packaging system to save consumption of excessive raw material. The project
also introduces the concept of slow consumption in terms of raw material
utilization.
