FIRST PRIZE
PALINGENESI
Marco Grimoldi
Tommaso Pardini
Motivation of the jury: perfect coherence
between technological content, industrial
feasibility and value in the use of the product.
Palingenesi is a 7.5-litre tank that can be used as a
container for liquids, oils and viscous substances.
It is produced through the use of advanced
technologies, which allow for the creation of a
single-component and a single material container
in a single production process: an experimental
design in the field of biomimetics which aims to
integrate the latest technology into the injection
moulding process.
The project takes advantage of the use
of nano-structured surfaces to recreate structural
colours and hydrophobic surfaces: these
technologies make it possible to speed up the
production process and facilitate recycling.

ASAP is a coffee cup in biopolymers: evocative,
biodegradable and compostable.
The ASAP cup enhances the ethical and sustainable

THIRD PRIZE
EAT&PLAY
Maurizio Prina
Massimo Minchio
Motivation of the jury: intelligent solution in
the playful reuse of essential packaging and
technologically coherent.
The project aims to combine two particularly happy
aspects of life: games and food.
Eat&play is a container for ice cream which, after
use, becomes a game, thus avoiding the rapid
obsolescence of this type of consumer product:
in place of “eat and throw-away” the designers
propose “eat and play”.
After enjoying the ice cream, in fact, the container
can be filled with sand and used again for playing a
game of “bocce”.
Eat&play uses two icons that have indelibly marked
the collective Italian memory: the game of bocce
and ice cream. The project is however declinable in
many other games that involve the use of a sphere.

AWARD 2015
INJECTION MOULDING
AWARD
YIN&GNAM
Lorenzo Limatola
Motivation of the jury: a technically consistent and
fully usable new contribution to a much-explored
theme of contemporary design.
Yin&gnam is an ecological and disposable cutlery set,
whose components are moulded into one reduced
size piece.
The function of the spoon is combined with that
of the knife: in this manner, what is usually found
in three components is reduced to two, while
maintaining all of the functionality and, at the same
time, ensuring an appearance that intrigues and
stimulates the use of the product.
The design enables a substantial decrease in the
amount of material used for the production of each
cutlery set, leading to a considerable economic and
environmental saving; also, the compactness of the
elements is the basis for a further reduction in use of
material for the packaging.
Yin&gnam is produced by injection moulding: the
chosen material is PLA, or polylactide, which allows
the product to be composted together with the food
remnants after use.

THERMOFORMING
AWARD
BIONE PACK
Dario Martone
Francesco Lillo
Motivation of the jury: unifying two mutually
consistent appearances in a single object through
a technological solution of good feasibility.
The project bione pack analyses the problems
associated with the use of disposable products for
the consumption of beverages in public places:
the use of spoons, cups and bags increases the
risk of producing mixed waste, which is no longer
recoverable and recyclable.
Bione pack presents integrated packaging, able to
be used both as a sugar container and a teaspoon,
thanks to the use of thermoformed and laminated
plastic sheets.
Another film protects the spoon, to ensure hygiene.

PLASTIC TECHNOLOGIES AWARD 2015
Competition sponsored by PROMAPLAST, organizer of PLAST 2015, with POLI.design, Consorzio
del Politecnico di Milano, aimed at the selection of innovative rapid consumption/temporary/
single-use products, exploiting the potential of specific technologies used in the manufacture and
processing of plastics.
Sponsors of the initiative are the companies Amut, manufacturer of extrusion lines, thermoforming
and recycling plants, and Negri Bossi, injection molding machines for thermoplastics, thermosets
and elastomers, both present at PLAST 2015, and trade associations PlasticsEurope Italia, Italian
Association Producers of Plastics, and Assocomaplast, Italian Plastics and Rubber Processing
Machinery and Moulds Manufacturers’ Association.
