Boudin San Francisco
Boudin Bakery is a bakery and restaurant chain originally
from San Francisco, California, known for its sourdough bread. It was
established in 1849 by Isidore Boudin, son of a family of master bakers from
Burgundy, France, by blending the sourdough prevalent among miners in the Gold
Rush with French techniques and longevity.
Today, it is famous for its “Bowl of Soup”, which is a
sourdough boule with clam chowder inside of it. In 2018, with well over 160
years of history, Boudin decided to preset its audience with a new brand
identity and to-go packaging system, one that represents its same spirit but
with a 21st century vibe.
Goal:
100% Plastic Free Food Packaging
In the ArtCenter College of Design’s first 100% plastic free
packaging course, students were challenged to rebrand a fast or fast casual
food brand, and redesign their packaging system to be fully sustainable, using
no plastic or bioplastic. Students were challenged to use new and old materials
including biomaterials such as wood pulp, plant cellulose, food waste, grass,
algae, and mushrooms that are sustainably sourced, and at the end of their
lives, can be composted into bio-mass to regenerate depleted farming soils.
Students were no allowed to use the following materials:
PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), PE (Polyethelene) (LDPE
and HDPE variants), LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene), HDPE (High Density
Polyethylene), PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), PP (Polypropylene), PS (Polystyrene),
PC (Polycarbonate), PMMA (Acrylic), ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PA
(Nylon), PLA (Polylactic Acid—Starch Based Bioplastic), Any Non-Edible “Biodegradable
Plastic” or “Bioplastic” (AcC, PBS, PCL, PES, PVA, PHA).
