Italian design innovator Carlo Ratti teamed up with energy company eni to create an experimental orange juice machine (Feel the Peel) based on the principle of circular economy. The peeled orange peel is used to make bioplastics, and the filaments are used to 3D print them to make cups.
1,500 oranges move like a roller coaster in a 3m high spiral body. The skin is dried and pulverized inside to become bioplastic. After the powder is heated and dissolved, it is made into a cup using a 3D printer. Related information can be found here .
