BIODEGRADE ME
 

Fast food packaging takes up a hefty chunk of our landfill space while effectively clear-cutting our forests. McDonalds restaurants serve out over 2 billion burgers a year, each individually wrapped in plastic coated paper and thrown into a paper bag with a few paper napkins – most of this paper finds its way into a bin after 5 minutes of use.

The design is inspired by customer interaction with the packaging - often consumers rip open their bags into a tray to reveal their meal - therefore the bag is created to open out into a comfortable eating station. Folds in the bag keep inside items separated without the need for interior packaging. The outer part of bag is made from recycled pulp paper, and grease-proof grass paper lines the inside. Both are highly biodegradable and most definitely more sustainable than clear-cutting.
