Her project was developed from an engineering professor from KKU. It was about probiotic acid with the mixture of rice husk
“After obtaining permission from the researcher, we came up with the idea to design a zip-locker which would be used for food keeping. The product was painted with pictures of nature to mean that the designed package is biodegradable within 6-12 months. This prototype product should attract market’s interest since the degradable packaging is on a high demand. Winning this award is beneficial for us since we can have a certificate to qualify our folio for the future job application.
