Chess from recycled tetrapak
Goal: Promoting the principles of separate waste collection through free rental of chess equipment made from recycled materials after recycling.
Task: The project requires developing a design for a set of chess pieces, a board and a box that can be mass-produced from recycled tetrapak.

The shape of the knight resembles a Gothic arch and a pointed tower.

Target audience. In parks, the predominant consumer is an elderly man. He is looking for a companion for conversation and intellectual play. He has time to separate waste.
In chess clubs, the main consumers are school-age boys. If their favorite chess players talk to them about waste separation, give them the opportunity to try it during the game, they will be carried a

Design Project The blue figures have a triangle base, and the gray figures have a square base, which will prevent them from being thrown into the «wrong box».
The gray figures have a square base.
There is a separate drawer for each type of figure, like a two-stream sorting system in Russia.
The cutouts for each type of figure are also used as handles for pulling out the drawers.
Inside each drawer there is a reminder about sorting chess and garbage.
Each figure is designed in accordance with the criterion of maintaining molding slopes so that it can be cast in the ProEcoPen production.
