Banka<\/h2>\n\n

The concept by graphic designer and artist Alexander Cherkasov aims to preserve the shelf life of pickles, tomatoes or cabbage, for example, and to draw the consumer’s attention to a harmful development of the product by means of a discolored reaction surface. Once the deterioration of the food has occurred, the surface of the bag turns gray and disposal is inevitable. In addition, the airtight packaging allows for a longer shelf life, space-saving storage and reuse. The concept provides for the packaging material to be produced ecologically in order to reduce energy consumption compared to energy-intensive glass production. <\/p>\n\n
