Group leader Nguyen Phuc Tan, a student majoring in high-tech agriculture, faculty of applied technology, said the product is reused from wood and bamboo, then planted with one or more species of plants to create an artistic painting.
A group of students from Van Lang University research a unique line of biological paintings to help protect the environment.
"The group has 5 members from the faculty of applied technology, business administration, and environment. The project was launched in mid-March 2024. In parallel with researching the paintings, the group also came up with ideas, created a business plan, and built a number of communication channels for the product" - Tan said.
The group shares that this line of paintings is suitable to be placed on the desk, low cabinet of the living room, bedroom or hung on the railing of the balcony, terrace,...
The product not only has a decorative function but also creates fresh air, improves mental health, and even provides clean food continuously at home depending on the needs and space of each family.
The research team created many types of biological paintings that can both decorate and make clean food for the family.
Bio-based picture frames are recycled from old wood and bamboo.
Member Du Tuan Lam, a student of business administration, said the group has two main product lines. Pre-designed products range in size from 30x30 cm to 60x60 cm and cost less than 1 million VND. Custom-designed paintings cost from 1 to 10 million VND depending on the size, material, technology, and type of plant inside the frame.
As a student of the environmental department, Nguyen Vu Huong Giang affirmed that through the anti-termite and anti-mold treatment processes, the group has significantly "upgraded" the lifespan of the paintings. This helps increase the number of reuses and the usage time of the paintings from 5 to 10 years.
Painters in some countries around the world such as the US, UK, Germany, Japan... often use lower organisms such as mushrooms, moss, algae to create unique murals.
Team members come from the faculty of applied technology, faculty of business administration and faculty of environment.
Dr. Vu Thi Quyen, Head of Biotechnology, Faculty of Applied Technology, Van Lang University, said that biopainting in Vietnam is still a fairly new concept and not widely known. Commercializing the product will certainly face many challenges.
"If the application team adds technologies to the painting such as material denaturation technology to increase the life of the painting frame, IoT technology to reduce the care and management of the protection of the plant painting, etc., along with increased communication and promotion, this product line is completely capable of being commercialized on the market" - Dr. Quyen said.
The advantage of the product is that it is made largely from organic materials that can be recycled and are environmentally friendly, without using synthetic plastic pots.
After winning first prize in the 2024 Sailing Startup Competition organized by Van Lang University, the team continued to research to complete the project and gradually commercialize the product.
