ArtVinegar
ArtVinegar is a do-it-yourself kit for turning imperfect fruit into fruit vinegar at home. The kit contains a glass bottle, a choice of vinegar flavors and a printed manual. Shoppers can select unappealing or overripe fruit at supermarkets, produce markets or small farmers markets. The bottle is made of recycled brown glass through a bubbling process, and the bubble pattern recalls the bubbles of vinegar fermentation. The empty bottle can be returned to the sales outlet for recycling. Food waste is reduced and sustainability is promoted.

The A' Sustainable Products, Projects and Green Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design prize which rewards outstanding design of sustainable projects, environment friendly designs, recycled, upcycled, bio-degradable products, Energy-Efficient appliances and more.
