G-ark: A Plant Cultivating Box for Desert Areas

Revolutionizing Planting in Arid Environments

G-ark was inspired by the designers' firsthand experience of the difficulties faced in planting vegetation in hot desert regions. Recognizing the severity of desertification on Earth, they were determined to develop a tool that could help people grow plants in these challenging environments.

What sets G-ark apart is its unique design that addresses the issue of excessive water evaporation during the planting process in desert areas. The device utilizes starch-based materials and various key structures to minimize water loss, ensuring optimal plant growth.

The G-ark is made using biodegradable biomaterials, making it an eco-friendly choice. With dimensions of W40*D40*H60mm, it is compact and easy to transport.

Through its innovative design, G-ark enables plants to be initially cultivated in more suitable conditions before being transplanted into the desert. This approach ensures the survival and longevity of the plants, contributing to reforestation efforts in arid regions.

The G-ark project was initiated in March 2015, with successful experiments conducted in 2016. In 2017, the team filed for a patent to protect their invention.

The designers conducted extensive research in the northwest region of China, an area plagued by water scarcity and desertification. Their exploration encompassed engineering, technology, design, and materials, resulting in the development of G-ark.

Overcoming the challenges of finding the right materials and creating a clever structure, the designers achieved their goal of a biodegradable device that effectively aids in desert planting.

G-ark not only addresses the issue of excessive water evaporation but also contributes to the overall fight against desertification. The biodegradable material of the device serves as fertilizer, enriching the soil and promoting sustainable growth.

The G-ark project has been recognized for its excellence and innovation. In 2017, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Sustainable Products, Projects, and Green Design category. This prestigious accolade is granted to designs that meet professional and industrial requirements, integrating best practices and technical characteristics while contributing to a better world.

With G-ark, WuYao, KongGuoqin, XiangMengxin&JinRong have revolutionized the way plants are cultivated in desert areas. Their innovative approach and commitment to sustainability offer hope for combating desertification and restoring arid landscapes.
