Ishita’s winning entry was a redesign of the menstrual pad packaging by the company “Always”.
The design was “… aimed at reducing the plastic waste caused in the production of menstrual products. This new design would help give the outer packaging box a second life as it turns it into a stand once opened. The size and shape of the box would help organise the product and could be stored on your bathroom shelf or in the cupboard efficiently.
The design on the packaging speaks for the product and company being gender-neutral and inclusive for all of its consumers. In conclusion, the packaging provides an environmentally friendly way to sell an essential health care product.”
