Pique-Nique Matt
Abstract
When having a picnic in nature, by rivers or beaches, tourists frequently struggle to carry a large number of necessities. As a result, there would be landfills on the riverbank and along the shores. In natural areas such as beaches and rivers, it is difficult to find dumpsters close by. Therefore, the innovative "Pique-Nique Matt" picnic mat with multiple compartments was created. This product is a picnic mat that incorporates the novel concept of adding storage compartments for picnic essentials made from sustainable materials, such as a laundry net bag, foldable trash bin, handmade tissue cover, sewing, and a reusable picnic mat, which promotes environmental cleanliness and pollution protection. The product includes compostable plastic bags for littering. The product is user-friendly and portable, featuring a sling strap, a foldable mat, and a lightweight construction. The product is user-friendly due to its portability, which allows the user to carry it anywhere and at any time. The product is advantageous to society because the community can practise preventing water pollution. This innovation's primary objective is to expose the concept of innovation and the structure of the product to be introduced in the commercialization field at a reasonable price. No marketers or innovators in the global market have developed this kind of product. The product can be used in places like nature preserves, beaches, and riverbanks that people visit.
