Ridiculous rendering. Since when the Chinese food consists of uncooked grain rice uncooked glass noodle, and a piece of gyoza that you removed it before closing divider in Step 3?
ReplyDeleteIt's a awesome concept, wished they do that for chinese take aways
ReplyDelete@ anonymous above - I agree, but it's more the concept we are looking at here - it doesn't really matter if its cooked or not.
ReplyDeleteI really like this, it shows a different approach to take-away meals - biggest concern is dishes with sauces, dishes that need to be cooked in their sauces for the taste and aromas - storing condiments as extras isn't always the best. The moisture and steam from cooked products would also probably make the card soggy, and they could only be used once - whereas with the plastic containers they give you, most people I know store them and re-use them. This in the long run may actually produce more waste - even though the plastic is more energy to create.
Anonymous, like Jessie said this was a student "concept" where I was limited in my materials as this wasn't professionally mocked up. The idea would be to use materials that are already used in eco-friendly take-out packaging. The reason to use the "food" depicted was to not ruin the chipboard I had to use. Think bigger!
ReplyDeletePlastic not only takes more energy it also takes 1000 years to decompose. I have not heard of anyone washing and reusing their plastic containers either.
ReplyDeleteNice concept of packaging. I never thought that there is a divisions inside the box. Very creative, nature friendly because also of the strap used for close-fitting.
