Yawaipe is an innovative project that transforms discarded cacao shells into sustainable jewelry, bridging the gap between agricultural and urban communities in Brazil. By developing a unique biomaterial, Yawaipe creates luxury items that celebrate cultural heritage and promote environmental awareness.

Targeting Generation Z as agents of change, this project inspires a deeper appreciation for nature and encourages sustainable practices within the cacao industry, creating a product with zero waste.

A biomaterial experimentation that has resulted in a Zero Waste Jewelry project.

This Final Degree Project was also qualified with the highest mark in her class and was recognised by the jury and the school.
