A package with a smart twist. 🍌📦 Winner of the iF DESIGN AWARD 2025, this banana chip packaging gives new purpose to fake banana stems while supporting farmers. The packaging minimizes waste by combining discarded banana stems with recycled paper. But there’s more – it doubles as a phone stand, letting you watch and snack on your banana chips hands-free. It's a simple idea with a big impact. By repurposing agricultural waste, it helps prevent harmful burning and improper disposal while offering a practical and enjoyable experience for users. Rethinking what packaging can do – snack and be inspired. 💛 Manufacturer: Hongyin CO, LTD., Tainan City/Taiwan Design: HSIN-YI TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENTAL CO, LTD., Taichung City/Taiwan #iFDesign #iFDesignAward2025 #DesignAward #Packaging #PackagingDesign #SmartPackaging
