Sustainable Expanding Bowl
By Anna Glansen & Hanna Billquist from agency Tomorrow Machine
Aim: Customize sustainable packaging for freeze dried food.
When hot water is poured, the mechano-active material will react to heat and transform compressed packaging to a serving bowl.
Genius Pizza Box
by William Walshof of GreenBox
The top of the box is perforated to tear into four serving plates, a feature that nixes the need for dish-ware. This certainly amplifies pizza’s convenience factor.The bottom of the GreenBox turns into a storage container half the size of a pizza box — which is wonderfully suitable for leftovers.

The Clever Little Bag
by Puma
The Clever Little Bag replaces traditional shoe boxes with a reusable bag slipped over a recyclable cardboard box. The Clever Little Bag reduces paper material and weight for a lighter, eco-friendly and reusable package that not only reduces energy use, but also reduces paper waste. In addition, the bag’s creative design includes a convenient handle, eliminating the need for a plastic bag to carry the box.
