About the Work
1500+ harmful chemicals are used in textile production. Japanese startup AIZOME has developed a dyeing method that uses only water, plants, and ultrasound, to create textiles that are not only harmless, but even come with health benefits. But how can a small startup stand out among all the sustainability claims?
WASTECARE™ — the first skincare product that is industrial wastewater from textile dyeing. The wastewater is certified according to dermatological standards. Packaged like a high-end beauty product, it was shipped out to key opinion leaders in textile, fashion, and healthcare with the goal of forming partnerships.
Skincare is an intimate product. In contrast to waste, it is regarded as something with value. By presenting waste as skincare, AIZOME proves that even their worst has a positive impact. A few drops of organically grown natural stabilizers were added to the wastewater to guarantee usability after shipping.
The unboxing experience tells the story of AIZOME. The package is made from recycled cardboard, layered for stability which eliminates the need for further shipping materials. Inspired by biochemical formulae, the dot-and-line design system illustrates Japanese characters like 藍 (indigo), 流 (flow), and 拾 (cherish).
All content is printed with plant-based ink. The editorial folder is split into three sections marked by the intensifying of color from unbleached white to blue. Each sheet uses data to illustrate plant-based dyeing and its reinvention with the development of AIZOME ULTRA™. The custom Ultra One typeface combines ultrasonic waves with traditional Mincho typeface, reflecting the unification of tradition and science.
Showcased in pop-up stores and industry trade shows, the skincare experience demonstrated the benefits of the textiles. Resulting in a 94% response rate, 44 new business opportunities, and 3 new investors. WASTECARE™ delivered the ultimate proof: Even our waste is good for you.
