BIODESIGN SUMMIT

2020

With my team, Chenyu Ding, Kaanchi Chopra, Chenxi Mao, and Chengqi Hong, we created DoGreen for Dog Waste Management. This system takes dog waste from a dog park, composts it, and turns it into energy to power a microgreen farm. DoGreen was awarded RISD's Rachel Carson Environmental Award in June 2021.

We propose a market stand to sell the microgreens on-site at the dog park.

Dog bags and waste disposal integrated into the park design.

Packaging for the microgreens will be made of compostable, recycled material.

The microgreen farm will be open for the parkgoers to see the growth of the plants.

Park is designed with dog agility to keep dogs happy and wanting to come back.
