Dream High Packaging Protection from Mycelium

Abstract

In a world increasingly focused on sustainability and reducing environmental impact, DreamHigh is pioneering an innovative approach to packaging solutions using mycelium—a natural, biodegradable, and renewable material derived from fungi. Our mission is to revolutionize the packaging industry by offering eco-friendly alternatives that not only reduce waste but also align with global efforts to combat climate change. Mycelium packaging offers a compelling alternative to traditional plastic and Styrofoam packaging, which contribute significantly to environmental pollution. It is fully biodegradable, compostable, and capable of breaking down in natural environments within weeks, leaving no toxic residues behind. Additionally, mycelium-based products are lightweight, durable, and customizable, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from consumer goods packaging to protective shipping materials. DreamHigh’s business plan outlines a scalable production process leveraging advanced mycelium cultivation techniques and partnerships with local agricultural sectors to utilize agricultural waste as a key raw material. This not only ensures cost-efficiency but also supports a circular economy by repurposing waste that would otherwise be discarded.

Objective

เนื่องจากเราเล็งเห็นถึงปัญหาของการทิ้งโฟมหรือพลาสติกกันกระแทก ที่ใช้เวลาในการย่อยสลายนาน เราจึงนำตัวไมซีเลียมที่ใช้เวลาย่อยสลายไม่นานอีกทั้งยังเป็นมิตรต่อธรรมชาติ

Living Market Agricultural design

The design site of 22 hectares of agricultural land in this area is located in Tatata District, Iglenburg Province. The design concept of this area aims to encourage farmers and communities to earn income from the agricultural products produced in this area, and emphasizes that this area is a "living market", which can not only create food from a variety of crops, but also establish a balanced ecosystem and promote biodiversity in this area. The market will become a sustainable market area, which is not only beneficial to society in promoting economy, but also beneficial to the environment. The area will serve as a social and learning center, where community members can fully exchange agricultural information and experience and stimulate the economy in the community in another way.

Development of tea from longan peels and seeds

This research aimed to develop the mixed tea from longan peels and seeds. Population studied were longan farmers who planted longan and preserved the longan product in Ampur Wang Nam Yen, Sa Kaeo Province. From the results, it was found that from By-product in the production of dehydrated longan, longan peels and seeds, which can be processed into ready-to-drink powdered tea. This not only helps reduce waste from the production process but also contributes to generating additional income from these by-products.

A Metaverse System of Chalermphrakiat Innovation Building at King Mongkut's Memorial Park, KMITL

Traditional methods of public relations and learning often lack engagement and fail to provide users with a deep and immersive experience. Additionally, these methods struggle to reach a wide audience, especially those unable to visit the physical location. This project aims to solve the issues of accessibility and awareness regarding the institution’s Chalermphrakiat Hall and historical exhibition. Utilizing metaverse technology to simulate important locations allows users to explore the site and view key information in a virtual format, thereby enhancing the engagement of students staff alumni and the general public. The metaverse system is developed using Unity, a powerful game engine capable of supporting the creation of metaverse environments. This allows for the creation of an interactive and realistic virtual space. Unity also supports the management of physics, lighting, and sound, further enhancing realism. Additionally, the system is integrated with web browsers using WebGL technology, enabling the project developed in Unity to be accessed directly through a browser. Users can visit and interact with the metaverse environment from anywhere without the need to install additional software. The developers have thus created the metaverse system to provide a realistic and engaging learning experience, enhancing public relations efforts and fostering a strong connection with the institution efficiently.
