Rediseño de material de empaque biodegradable para chocolate Bean to Bar

El constante interés hacia nuevas alternativas sustentables que beneficien al medio ambiente hace cada vez más exigente desarrollar diferentes opciones de nuevos materiales en la industria del empaque, con visión ecológica y sustentable, que aporte un valor social y ambiental al producto final, por lo tanto, es de importancia realizar un análisis e investigación acerca de materiales alternativos sustentables como respuesta a las necesidades de preservación del medio ambiente. En este sentido, el presente trabajo de investigación desea otorgar un valor añadido al material de empaque secundario del chocolate “Bean to bar” (de la semilla a la barra), movimiento filosófico que promueve y desarrolla un proceso artesanal del chocolate el cual persigue la calidad, autenticidad del sabor, comercio justo y ética en toda la cadena de procesos. Una vez definido el problema y determinado la clasificación del material de empaque secundario, el trabajo se desarrolla bajo una metodología de diseño de “design thinking” a fin de lograr una solución y propuesta innovadora, producto del análisis e interpretación de la información recolectada que se traduce en las pruebas del nuevo material biodegradable obtenido a través de un prototipo.The constant interest towards new sustainable alternatives that benefit the environment makes the packaging market increasingly demanding to develop different options for new materials in the packaging industry, with an ecological and sustainable vision, which contributes a social and environmental value to the final product, therefore, it is important to carry out an analysis and research on sustainable alternative materials in response to the needs of preservation of the environment. In this sense, the present research work wishes to give added value to the secondary packaging material of the “Bean to Bar” chocolate, a philosophical movement that promotes and develops an artisan process of chocolate which pursues quality, authenticity of taste, fair trade and ethics throughout the process chain Once the problem has been defined and the classification of the secondary packaging material determined, the work is developed under a design methodology of "design thinking” in order to achieve an innovative solution and proposal, product of the analysis and interpretation of the information collected that it translates into the testing of the new biodegradable material obtained through a prototype

Indigenous Harakbut community and mining relationship in a western dominant culture.

The indigenous ontology has been differentiated from the western one by having a close relationship between humans and non-humans, and by not exerting human supremacy against the rest of the living beings. Nevertheless, throughout the periods of colonization and western influence to which they have been subjected, the notion of human supremacy and the fracture between humans and all beings have been reinforced. These relationships have been altered, perhaps forgotten, due to the aspiration to follow economic models of progress based on extractive activities such as mining that not only affects their territories but also the loss of their culture and identity causing serious socio-environmental problems.  In order to deepen these relationships, raise awareness and understanding the changes that vulnerable populations have to face in a dominant system, this work studies the Harakbut indigenous community of Puerto Luz, in the Madre de Dios region of Peru, and relates a design field in the form of journey which involves research and analysis with stages of knowing and non-knowing from the social science and humanities perspective. Through the anthropological framework, the indigenous and western ontological postulates are understood allowing the development of a creative writing and the correspondence between an interaction of ethnography with the production of new knowledge realities that allow for the verification of the changes this indigenous society, influenced by western dominant power, experiences. This somewhat decolonizing design process gives on to the understanding of new knowledge and challenges that address realities outside Western spheres to generate awareness and change
