Designing a reusable shopping tool for products without packaging

At: University of Twente

The world is getting evermore polluted with single-use plastics. There is a need for alternative ways to package products. The product that is designed during this project latches on to the innovation from supermarkets that are selling packaging free products in dispensers that customers can use to fill up their own containers. The product is a tool designed to make this way of shopping as convenient as possible. It consists of several transparent containers that can be filled in the store and act as transportation and storage devices. These containers can connect to each other and a carrying strap to make handling the product effortless. The goal is to get as many people to use this new way of shopping by making the process of doing so easy and convenient.
