What’s become a cultural identifier to our way and our decision to go with what is quick and convenient, is actually a warning sign in light of a looming problem. As Japanese based designers, we draw attention to an important issue, demonstrating that the value of a design is not only in its function or aesthetic, but also in its environmental impact.
Made To End Waste
The future is more hopeful than the present, only if we do something about it. I am hopeful that this project will find its sense of ownership and maybe we can’t chase perfection but we are building a platform to strive on.

Swatches
Black Pesta
An expression of the many colours of plastics that we encounter in our daily work. This never-repeated swatch featuring hand cut flakes arranged in controlled chaos is a crowd-favourite all over the world.
Kopi Green
Sourced exclusively from coffee roasters across the region, try to catch this elusive swatch as we only make them in very small batches, just as the coffee beans that this packaging kept air tight were roasted.
Painted
End-of-life cosmetic waste gets a new lease on life with this swatch that uses expired nail polish. They are hand painted individually with a myriad of intertwining curves and lines made from last season's colours.
Collective Effort

Holding the Line
Recycling isn't the long-term solution to our plastic problem. It's all about reducing our consumption and stopping it at the source. Through collective means, we need to start now or it will be too late.
いつの日か、
ブンコスのバックがたくさんの人の手に届き、それが、世界中の無駄を無くすきっかけになったとしたら、アーティストとして最高に幸せです。
.bungkus has been an essential project for No Time To waste. We created this platform to hub just about anyone who is curious . With shared knowledge and critical reflection, we can achieve just the right purpose.
我们无法彻底解决塑料袋的问题，但我们能让它们不再成为问题。我们分秒必争地改变塑料被弃用、送往堆埋的命运，让废弃的塑料在设计师与团队的精心合作下华丽转身，成为具有品牌价值与地位的日常物件。我们不仅在实践废物再利用的可行性，更强调设计师应有的尊重与价值并且以微小的力量煽动环保风暴。
Sebelum .bungkus aku nggak perduli daurulang karena aku masih lihat sampah dimana-mana. Sekarang aku say NO to single use packaging. Aku percaya kalau aku yang skeptis bisa berubah, We can do it!
