Creation of Seed Paper

  • Used monggo seeds

  • Microfiber cloth drying technique

  • Failed attempt 

    • Observation 1: It is not feasible to implant monggo seeds within paper due to its large size

    • Observation 2: Drying by microfiber cloth is not an effective method of drying

  • Due to time restraints and recent events (typhoon odette) the researchers no longer had time to re-try the process and had to purchase from an independent manufacturer

    • Paper contained Pechay, Mustasa, Celery or Amaranth seeds

To fully determine how much the bag will be able to withstand, the researchers gradually weighed more and more objects until the prototype could no longer handle the weight. 1,505 grams and 570 milliliters is the maximum weight that the prototype was able to withstand.

Testing sustainability of prototype

Situation 1 - thrown haphazardly on soil to replicate situations where bags are disposed of improperly 

Testing sustainability of prototype

Situation 2 - planted through more proper means as if one were caring for an actual plant

Observations

  1. Plants sprouted proving its sustainability

  2. Plants sprouted only if they had access to water
