What if the billions of crisp packets we throw away each year could become something beautiful and functional?

Crispy is an innovative design project by Alara Sipahioglu, a student from Central Saint Martins’ Material Futuresprogram, that transforms discarded crisp packets into fully recyclable serving bowls.

In the UK, over 6 billion crisp packets are consumed every year. Their multilayered plastic packaging can’t be recycled through household systems, meaning most end up in landfills, incinerators, or as litter.

Using a low-cost solvent process, Alara separates the different layers of the packaging — turning polypropylene into bowls, ink into paint, and metallised PET into woven casings. The result is a striking example of circular design, where waste is reclaimed and reimagined as sustainable tableware.

This project challenges how we think about packaging waste and shows how design innovation can transform everyday trash into meaningful, eco-friendly objects.
