BEESWAX SHAPES

Old honeycombs are a product destined to disposal. On the one hand, they are potentially damaging to beehives; on the other, their possible reworking would be too costly for beekeepers.
This theis projects aims to reuse this refuse material for the production of a zero impact container, made of recyclable material such as beeswax, mixed with natural substances to increase its resistance to the elements. 
The final products of varying colors based on the natural substances used in the mix, are cylindrical jars whose base circumscribes the hexagon of the honeycomb cell and which can be piled one on top of the other and outfitted with a lid, to be used in the cosmetic industry
