    Adidas and Black Ink Projects reinvent packaging with biodegradable materials made from sugarcane and mycelium.


    The Ozlucent sneaker packaging, a collaboration between Adidas and design studio Black Ink Projects, introduces a sustainable approach to packaging. The shoe is encased in a bag made from sugarcane and cellulose, then protected by a naturally grown mycelium box. Designed with e-commerce in mind, the solution merges innovation, biodegradability, and environmental responsibility.
    Adidas e Black Ink Projects reinventano il packaging con materiali biodegradabili a base di canna da zucchero e micelio.


    Il packaging della sneakers Ozlucent, frutto della collaborazione tra Adidas e lo studio Black Ink Projects, introduce un approccio sostenibile all’imballaggio. La scarpa è racchiusa in un sacco composto da canna da zucchero e cellulosa, poi protetto da un box in micelio, un materiale biologico che cresce naturalmente. Progettato anche per l’e-commerce, il packaging combina design innovativo, biodegradabilità e attenzione all’impatto ambientale.
