Zen Dibia

Abstract

The dental care kit from Zen Dibia, which is 100% biodegradable, represents an eco-friendly and versatile solution that not only promotes oral health but also contributes to environmental sustainability. On one hand, it includes a bamboo cup that serves a dual function as a toothbrush holder and a pot for its final disposal, utilizing renewable resources and locally sourced materials. Additionally, the dental floss included in the kit is made of filaments that can be composted after use, enriching soil fertility and reducing waste. Furthermore, the kit offers succulent, orchid, and/or avocado seeds, along with gardening tools, so users can grow their own plants after using the kit and reconnect with nature in its final disposal process. The research focuses on the development of Zen Dibia's dental care kits, utilizing polylactic acid (PLA) filament as the primary component in their manufacturing process. Production using 3D printers and artisanal craftsmanship. The study encompasses a multifaceted approach to sustainability, including minimizing waste in the manufacturing process with environmentally friendly materials. Additionally, it is essential to ensure that the product development does not generate negative environmental impacts, with a future aspiration to integrate artisanal craftsmanship with technological advancements.
