Sustainer

description

Sustainer is a collaborative project developed by myself and Industrial Design Student Andreas Eiken. Together they developed a reminder-based mobile application paired with a reusable food container aimed to help reduce waste caused by disposable to-go food containers. The application and container together overcome the barriers of people forgetting to bring their container, the container leaking, and the overall awkwardness of most to-go container designs. A main focus of the project lies within the interaction between the app and the container. We wanted to challenge the notion of literal smart technology and develop the link through a visual and tactile relationship instead of embedding a digital chip.
