Where does most of the waste we produce every day come from? Mostly from the 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?
Tomorrow Machine has designed the This Too Shall Pass series. It consists of three elements that look much more like decorations than household products. The first, intended to hold liquids, is a gelatinous packaging made with water andagar agar. A real edible jelly to be used as packaging for beverages, juices, smoothies, and ice cream.Swedish design studio Tomorrow Machinecreatesthat the relationship between food and packaging should form a symbiosis in which container and content have the same shelf life. This is not the common disposable, but a much more subtle gimmick.
The second element is triangular in shape and is designed to hold dry foods, such as rice and grain cereals. It was made from beeswax, is biodegradable, and you dehull itlike a fruit to reach what is inside.
The third item is the most surprising. It is a round-shaped container created from caramelized sugar coated with natural wax suitable for holding liquids such as olive oil.
It is of just one of the examples devised by Tomorrow Machine to envision the packaging of the future. Will our habits change? And how will products for sale in stores be packaged in the coming years?
