Challenge : 

 My basic idea is to replace the plastic cover and all packaging materials made   of plastic with a film which is made of sea weed . They are sometimes edible   ( Depends on the ingredients ) , eco - friendly , biodegradable and used for   packaging , replacing plastic packaging with seaweed or known as brown algae   as a component . This helps the environment by reducing plastic pollution and   also is helpful in improving the livelihood of the seaweed farmers who depends   on the seaweed for their livelihood . 

 Selection : 

 The tool which I used for my innovation was the tool of Mind Mapping to   identify and find the possible solutions to the problem . My customers are   basically the hyper local markets who are working to apply the innovations   which reduce the plastic wastage . Mind mapping tells us about how the ideas   are attached to the main idea and to each other . Mind maps are used to   generate and classify ideas by looking for the insights to provide the main   design criteria . We do this by displaying the information and will ask people to   observe them in ways that allow them to get rid of the problem . Mind mapping   basically considered as a team sport . If played carefully the entire team will   succeed . This work on the latest trends . Now a days a lot of people are trying   to innovate something which helps in the reduction of plastic wastage . 

 Application 

 The front - runner in the world of biodegradable packaging is seaweed . It 's   naturally high in fibre and vitamins . As they are biodegradable , they will   decompose within 6 weeks without causing any harm to the environment . 

 Despite using the plastic packaging , we can use these films made from the   seaweed . 

 First thing we does is we were a team of 5 members . We used to divide our   work and plan accordingly depending on our capabilities . We have gone to our   nearby hyper local markets and got the information about the number of   plastic covers used by them per day . by seeing them we are shocked by the 

 result . Then we started working on the components which can help in solving   the problem of this plastic pollution . 

 What if we replace the plastic covers by the seaweed packaging which is at our   desired price and even with the offering of all other things which a plastic carry   bag does . We started worked on it . Started to follow the principles of design   thinking and getting new ideas in an innovative way in order to get our desired   product onto the market . 

 We reached some of the hyper local markets and spoke about this type of   packaging by explaining them about the product their feedback is lot more   helpful . They said if it was available in the market , they would be the one who   uses the seaweed packaging as the alternative for the plastic packages . 

 Insight & Approach 

 The main thing I wanted to convey is that the thing which we came through   this exercise is that their suggestions were a lot helpful for understanding their   response about the issue we are trying to solve , the most crucial aspect is the   shared thoughts and their queries that are raised while we are trying to solve   the problem . And in some cases , based on the questions they raised we were   able to modify the product in order to face the challenge of such a huge   monster of plastic pollution . 

 Since I learned one of the most important aspect of the design thinking is the   shared insights and learning , next time I would like to take the help of the mind   mapping activity for the upcoming design thinking activities . Then later on I   would go for all other tools depending on the situation .
