ÉCAL graduate Anna Piasek has created modular takeaway food packaging that can be divided like a bento box and composted after use.
"An East Asian meal often consists of a variety of dishes in smaller portions or involves lots of side dishes," Piasek told Dezeen.
"When we have Japanese food in France, the amount of plastic containers used is insane because each one is put in a separate box."
Moulded cellulose is perhaps most well-known for its use in egg cartons, but has been gaining more wide-spread popularity as a possible alternative to plastic packaging.
Elsewhere, designers have developed plastic packaging alternatives using everything from animal byproducts to algae and food waste.
