Where does most of the waste we produce every day come from? Especially give him food packaging and from the packaging of what we eat or drink. If we want, we can buy bulk products to contain household waste, but some products cannot do without packaging. What will be the solution?
The Swedish design studio Tomorrow Machine believes that the relationship between food and packaging must be a symbiosis in which container and content have the same shelf life. This is not the common throwaway, but a much more subtle gimmick.
Tomorrow Machine created the series This Too Shall Pass. It is made up of three elements that look much more like decorations than household products. The first, intended to contain liquids, is a gelatinous packaging, made with water andagar. A real edible jelly to be used as packaging for drinks, fruit juices, smoothies and ice cream.
The second element has a triangular shape and was designed to contain dry food, like rice and grains. It was made with beeswax, it is biodegradable and you have to peel like a fruit to reach what is inside.
The third element is the most surprising. It is a rounded shape container created with caramelized sugar coated with natural wax suitable for containing liquids such as olive oil.
It's just one of the examples Tomorrow Machine designed for imagine the packaging of the future. Will our habits change? And how will the products on sale in stores be packaged in the coming years?
